The Broncos selected Brown in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 232nd overall.
Hicks becomes the third secondary player to be drafted by the Broncos on Day 3 of the draft. A quick and rangy corner, Hicks never recorded an interception during his four-year collegiate career at Wisconsin, but he was a tackle compiler, tallying 107 total tackles in his college career. Expect Hicks to be a special teams contributor, provided he makes the roster.
