New Orleans Saints DL Akiem Hicks is one of many defensive linemen being asked to play in different defensive roles under defensive coordinator Rex Ryan. He has been asked to play nose tackle, as well as defensive end, and has been comfortable in doing so. ‘I’ve always played everywhere,’ Hicks said. ‘In college I played games where I played the left end, tackle, the nose and then right end. So I have always played everything and I am (used) to it.’
