The Denver Broncos selected Wisconsin cornerback Faion Hicks in the 7th round of the 2022 NFL draft on Saturday evening (232nd overall).
Hicks (5-10) is the Broncos’ final pick of the draft – barring a trade.
A redshirt senior, the CB earned an All-Big Ten honorable notice in 2020. Hicks, a Miami native, totaled 13 total tackles and four pass breakups that season. In his final collegiate season, though, Hicks totaled 28 total tackles, nine pass breakups and a QB hit.
