Jaden Hicks, a safety from Washington State University, was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite already having a strong safety lineup, the Chiefs couldn't pass up the opportunity to add Hicks to their roster due to his exceptional talent and value.
Considered a steal in the draft, Hicks was ranked as the top safety by NFL draft analyst Dane Brugler and was projected to be picked much earlier in the second round. His versatility and skill set make him a valuable addition to the team, especially considering the potential departure of veteran safety Justin Reid after the 2024 season.
