Why not? On his 28th birthday Green showed the crowd of 2,325 on the Paul Brown Stadium practice fields Sunday why he’s mentioned in the same breath as the NFL’s top receivers. On the day they broke out the shoulder pads, Green easily broke away during the first day DBs were allowed to press cover.
In the first one-on-ones of the day Green was able to release against cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and bolted away to catch a touchdown.
Then on the first snap of team drills against the No. 1 defense Green again beat the press and was able to track down a 20-yard arrow from quarterback Andy Dalton on the sidelines.
