A fifth Wisconsin player is off the board with the Broncos adding CB Faion Hicks in the seventh round.
They've now got four former #Badgers on the roster.

Faion Hicks said former Wisconsin teammate and current Broncos teammate Matt Henningsen is one of the smartest guys he’s ever met. Added he was honored to play with him.

Wisconsin cornerback Faion Hicks is the Broncos’ pick at No. 232. Two Badgers to wrap up the day. Hicks, like Henningsen, had a big Pro Day … ran a 4.37 40. Opened some eyes and moved him on up on radars.

Faion Hicks-Pretty good athlete at corner, great recovery speed, sticky in man coverage, good ball skills, good footwork. Developmental reserve as a slot corner.

Welcome to #BroncosCountry, @Faion_Hicks!
Sticky CB. Stays in the hip pocket of the WR, with a last-second knack for getting a hand in the path of the ball. Early Special Teams contributor, with CB upside.
