—Speed allows him to beat second-level blocks outright.
—Excellent frame with height, weight and length that will make him valuable.
WEAKNESSES
—Athleticism will be a question mark as teams try to find a long-term positional fit.
—Will turn 24 years old in mid-September.
—Play strength is underwhelming and leaves him struggling to compete.
—Technique is a concern when working laterally; loses leverage to ball-carriers in space.
OVERALL
Green's versatility will also be a curse if he can't ever find a consistent position to play in the NFL. While he does show some potential rushing the passer, he'll be best served settling in as an off-ball linebacker, where he can use his pursuit skills and length to track ball-carriers.
GRADE: 5.25 (ROUND 7 - BACKUP CALIBER)
