PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Jaden Hicks exhibits a play style well-suited for a Zone Box/Strong Safety role. His strengths in tackling and physical play make him ideal for defensive schemes that emphasize run stopping and tight man coverage. Hicks' agility and burst allow for effective closing in zone coverage, and he matches up well against larger receivers. However, his play style shows limitations in zone coverage instincts and deep ball tracking.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A high-end starter potential prospect is a player who is projected to be among the top starters on their team within the second or third year in the NFL. They have good physical tools and athleticism and perform at a high level most of the time. They have some weaknesses, but they are not significant. These players are typically second or third-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league.
