Mike Green is a dynamic edge rusher who played for the Marshall Thundering Herd before entering the 2025 NFL Draft. Standing 6'3" and weighing 251 pounds, Green transferred from the University of Virginia to Marshall, where he made an immediate impact. In the 2024 season, he led the FBS with 17 sacks and ranked second with 23 tackles for loss, earning Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors and AP Second-Team All-American recognition. His performance at the Senior Bowl further solidified his status as a top prospect, impressing scouts with his speed and pass-rushing ability.
Following his standout college career, Green was selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the 59th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Scouting reports highlight his explosive first step, refined pass-rush moves, and elite bend and flexibility, making him a potential high-impact, three-down edge rusher in a 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 defensive end role . However, critics note that his frame needs more bulk and that he can be overaggressive at times, which may affect his run defense consistency. Despite these concerns, Green's athleticism and pass-rushing prowess make him a promising addition to the Ravens' defense
