Final Report
Green from a measurables perspective is in an upper class. He runs effortlessly when he escapes the pocket and consistently showed an ability to get the edge on defenders and turn small gains into massive chunks. His long, gazelle like strides allow him to eat up yards downfield. As a passer, he's like a streaky shooter in basketball; he has to see a few go in before he settles in and that's when you see the best version of him. When he gets settled in, his progressions and timeliness of throws start to shine through. He doesn't have Favre-esque zip but he's got enough juice to fit it into tighter windows. Green relies on his athleticism as a runner almost too much to where he gets himself in trouble by drifting instead of stepping up when there's pressure. When rushers could pin their ears back, they could almost bait him into sacks because of this. He also tends to have happy feet which lead to poorly placed throws. Green has the build and athleticism to succeed at the pro level. He will need to improve on his fundamentals but is an intriguing mid round QB option
