player in the 2023 draft, ahead of Bijan Robinson, Devon Witherspoon, Paris Johnson Jr., and numerous other big-time prospects.“He was the No. 1 corner in the country coming out of high school and going to LSU," Roseman said."Then he didn't have his last season that he wanted to . He had a lot of adversity as a guy who really thought he would be a high pick came in with the right attitude.
“I knew I wanted to make a big play and I had to stand out, especially being an undrafted guy.

Ricks and all the young corners were the beneficiary of the generosity that Darius Slay and James Bradberry show to all the new guys. That’s a big part of the culture that’s been in place here for years, that the veterans help the young players – even though those young players are here to eventually replace them.
