#15 MIKE GREEN/EDGE MARSHALL – 6031, 251 POUNDS (R-SOPHOMORE)

Good

– Major uptick in production for his final season in college
– Has a nice swim move in his arsenal that he uses in both the run and pass game
– Uses his quickness along with finesse to make the tackle use false steps and blow by them
– Patient and disciplined defender who will stay put and contain backside in case of a running back cuts back to his side
– Uses a lot of pre-snap movement to confuse the offensive linemen on which gap he will be attacking
– Has really solid game speed
– Due to skill set, would be effective on stunts
– Good bend to get past tackles
– Handles double teams surprisingly well
– High ceiling, especially if he puts on some more weight to use power more often

Bad

– Limited experience with only having one college season of starting playing time
– Handful of times on tape will not take a direct path to the ball carrier but instead, use false steps as if he is thinking too much about where the ball is heading when he should just play off instincts
– Linemen have a pretty easy time throwing him out of the play if he chooses a shoulder to attack
– Finishing plays seems to be an issue at times, which can be due to over-pursuing
– Needs to incorporate power more into his rush attempts
– Looks lost when they drop him into coverage
– Allows linemen to get inside hands on him, which neutralizes his rush
– Played in the Sun Belt with an easy schedule

Bio

– Six games played for Virginia in 2021 and 26 games played for Marshall from 2023 to 2024
– 131 tackles, 22.
