Discussing 3 safety prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft | Draft on Tap Grant Delpit and Ronnie Hickman lead the Browns safeties
Makes 45 stops in 2024 Hickman tallied 45 tackles (26 solo), one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season appearances with the Browns in 2024.
Impact Hickman missed three games due to injury but overall impressed in Year 2, while increasing his production across the board compared to his rookie season. During the offseason, it's possible he gets a chance to truly compete with Juan Thornhill and/or Grant Delpit for a starting gig at safety. Hickman is entering the final year of his contract with the Browns, though he'll be a restricted free agent in 2026.

He's trending in the right direction by practicing Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- and his practice participation over the next two days will indicate whether he'll be able to suit up against the Chargers on Sunday. Over the first five games of the regular season, Hickman logged 17 tackles (16 solo), one pass breakup and one fumble recovery.
