The race to sign undrafted free agents is always a hot one as teams are on the phones to convince players to join them over other offers they may have. The Cleveland signed a plethora of players, one of them being Ohio State safety Ronnie Hickman. Evaluating undrafted free agent classes, PFF has stated Hickman is one of the best signings of the post-draft affair.
Hickman is coming off of a breakout season for the Buckeyes in 2022, posting an 88.9 coverage grade on the back of five pass breakups, an interception, a 43.3% reception rate and allowing a 39.2 NFL passer rating. The Browns could end up getting a fair bit of use out of Hickman on a thin safety depth chart. He has 91st percentile arm length and the coverage ability to potentially play a rotational role when needed behind Grant Delpit and Juan Thornhill.
