Hicks accumulated 128 tackles (86 solo), including three sacks, as well as 10 passes defended and an interception over 17 games in 2022.
Hicks played his fewest defensive snaps (897) of the last four seasons, though he still finished with his second-most tackles of any season during this span. He served as the team's No. 2 off-ball linebacker and second-leading tackler behind Eric Kendricks (137) in this duo's first season together. Hicks also logged double-digit passes defended for just the second time in his career. The 30-year-old does have a potential out in 2023 heading into the second year of his contract with Minnesota, though he should continue to fulfill a prominent role if he's retained by the team this offseason.
