A Veteran Viking Will Be Rejuvenated by Brian Flores’ Defense in 2023

The Minnesota Vikings brought in veteran LB Jordan Hicks last offseason to help build Ed Donatell’s 3-4 defensive scheme.

However, Donatell’s plan did not work in Minnesota last year, and as a result, he was fired and in came Brian Flores to take over the defensive coordinator role. Now, in 2023, veteran Viking LB Jordan Hicks will feel the positive effects of this change in philosophy. Here’s a look at how Hicks has found success in the past, and what his role could look like with the 2023 Vikings.
