Helluva career for the former Longhorn All-American.

That he was a top-100 draft pick after two serious injuries in college and played 10 years in the league after dealing with injuries in his pro career speaks to his talent and perseverance.

Helluva creer indeed. Congraulations to Jordan.

Ten seasons is a long time to play in the NFL when the average career is around 3-4 seasons.  Congratulations Jordan

13 int's from the LB position is fantastic...not many LBs with 13 int's!

He’s always been a great person as well as a great player. Happy to see him have a tremendous NFL career especially after the injuries.

Agree with you Jeff. Most OTF fans understand just how difficult the post-surgery rehabilitation process can be for football players. 

But many casual football fans don't have any idea about how physically and mentally challenging rehab is.

Hicks is one of the extraordinary players who excelled in spite of dealing with Injuries.

Congratulations and best wishes to him!

Hook 'Em!

@Bobby Burton. @Gerry Hamilton Seems we have a great interview waiting to happen. Especially, in the year of preNFL Ant Hill. He, along with DJ could offer a really unique insider view of the makings of an NFL LB.  Just a thought
