Ronnie Hickman’s Quiet Rise

The Browns pulled off a steal by drafting Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the second round—raising eyebrows about potential departures like Ronnie Hickman or Grant Delpit. But here’s the twist: Hickman, an undrafted free agent in 2023, has quietly become a cornerstone. With 103 tackles and 7 pass breakups last season, he’s a versatile safety who thrives in multiple roles, playing the most defensive snaps on the team. Signed to a modest $3.5M restricted tender, he’s a steal—teams didn’t match, and he’s become the Browns’ most reliable defensive player. His adaptability makes him indispensable, turning what could’ve been a missed opportunity into a coaching staff’s secret weapon.
