Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history.
From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades.
But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley.
Bijan Robinson says edge rusher is the easiest position in the NFL and one sack a game can get you $40,000,000 a year
“I’m gonna say D-line. I’m gonna say edge rusher. You have one job, get past the tackle. You really don’t have too much responsibility. Especially if you’re one that just rush the passer. I’m gonna say that’s easiest”
“One sack a game and you are great. But it’s crazy because that one sack a game is hard to do. But still, you don’t got to worry about coverages, run schemes, none of that”
