Jordan Hicks is in an unfamiliar position this offseason. He's familiar with everything.
The Eagles linebacker is finally in the same defensive scheme two years in a row, and there's no injury from which to recover this spring. For the first time in his three NFL seasons - and even stretching back to his college career - Hicks is benefiting from comfort with his body and mind.
"It's awesome not coming off injury," Hicks said. "It's awesome not having to learn a new defense. You're comfortable. You don't have to waste time learning. You already know. Now it's just taking the next step mentally because you know you're there physically.
