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 player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
