Scouting Report: Strengths
- While built more like a cornerback than a safety, Green has the vision, range, hitting ability, and ball skills teams want at free safety in the pass-heavy NFL.
- Explodes out of his backpedal and has the hands and coordination to force interceptions.
- Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
- Extremely aggressive to come up and put his body in traffic to make tackles.
- Fluid mover with decent speed and his length allows him to cover effectively downfield
- Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Green gets beat over the top too often, and Green tends to panic and get too handsy when running downfield.
- Isn’t great in route recognition when he’s facing the action, is hesitant and susceptible to double moves, and too often gets unnecessarily handsy when playing trail position
- Gets sloppy with his backpedal when playing off-man and seems to lack the instincts to close on the ball.
