Green Bay Packers: New Safety Suddenly Being Heavily Linked To Join Team

The Green Bay Packers made major moves at the Safety position this off-season. First, they decided to move on from both Darnell Savage and Jonathan Owens. The Green Bay Packers are reportedly being linked to signing Jaden Hicks from the NFL. Hicks' draft profile indicates a potential addition to the team's Safety position. The Packers have already made significant moves at the Safety position, including the signing of Darnell Savage and Jonathan Owens. However, they may also sign another Safety and possibly add a cornerback who is versatile within the secondary. The potential addition of Hicks could be a great compliment to what Xavier McKinney will bring to the Packers’ defense.

Green Bay Packers: New Safety Suddenly Being Heavily Linked To Join Team

Published : a month ago by McQuade Arnold in Sports

The Green Bay Packers made major moves at the Safety position this off-season. First, they decided to move on from both Darnell Savage and Jonathan Owens. Second, they landed the best available Safety in free agency with Xavier McKinney.

They have already done a lot to revamp the Safety position, however, they aren’t even close to done. They’ll likely sign (or draft) another Safety as well as get a cornerback who is versatile within the secondary. As it turns out, there is one player who is suddenly gaining steam to land with Green Bay.

The Green Bay Packers Being Heavily Linked To New Safety

According to Freddie Boston of FanSided:

What Would The Packers Be Getting In Jaden Hicks?

Hicks’ draft profile says a lot about how he could fit in the Packers’ defense:

Hicks’ testing will be extremely important for his draft outlook, as teams will want to see how he can run and change direction. He’s aggressive as a run-and-hit striker but doesn’t get as many squared-up, run-through tackles as expected. He plays in the box as an add-on run defender, but he might be a better cover man. Hicks is a straight-line mover and will have his issues when asked to flow with big bending route breaks — however, he plays with good instincts, has impressive ball skills and can line up over pass-catching tight ends. There are qualities to his game that could make him a feast-or-famine safety, but ultimately, he has the traits and upside to bet on in the middle rounds.

Hicks could be a great compliment to what Xavier McKinney will bring to the Packers’ defense.

There is no doubt that the Packers aren’t done adding to the Safety position, could Hicks get the call?
