Mike Green is a three-year contributor at outside linebacker. He’s spent the last two seasons at Marshall, but began his collegiate career at Virginia. He possesses good height and weight for the position when compared to the league average. Our projected 40 time of 4.59 second sis a tenth quicker than average.

Mike Green shows good twitchiness on the line of scrimmage to penetrate the pocket inside when up against offensive tackles. Displays exceptional quickness off the line of scrimmage to attack the ball quickly, especially on outside runs or when pursuing the ball up the middle. He’s a high-motor rusher that won’t give up on the play easily.

However, he does show a tendency to bite early when setting the edge, opening up the outside run. When defending the read-option, Green struggles to identify the ball. He’s an athletic rusher, but is still rather raw and will need to further develop in order to be successful long-term.
