Mike Green has some elite traits, but may not be a player the Arizona Cardinals can draft.
Part two of today’s pass rusher duo prospects.
The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are heading towards the 2025 NFL Draft and in doing that we are building our own big board for the Cardinals.
We have looked at the Consensus Big Board and their top prospects that could be available for the Arizona Cardinals.
Starting with Will Johnson, Jalon Walker, Shemar Stewart, and Kelvin Banks and this afternoon we looked at an intriguing pass rushing prospect in Mykel Williams.
Now, let’s look at a guy who has a chance to be in my top five prospects in this draft, but also may not even be on most teams boards.
Mike Green is a 6-3 251lbs edge rusher from Marshall who has massive statistical output with big time upside, but red flags that cannot be denied.
Lance Zierlein says:
High-energy pass rusher with productivity and a method of play that should translate to the next level. Green displays a natural and instinctive rush, utilizing loose hips and a series of moves and counters that can open doors with force or finesse. He’s very physical, with notes of violence in the way he attacks blockers in both phases. His explosiveness allows him to penetrate gaps, play around or through the protection edges and change direction quickly to finish in the backfield. He relentlessly presses forward, but can run out of gas due to his hot-running motor. Teams might wish he were heavier and longer but he’s willful, skilled and powerful with the ability to create enormous matchup concerns as an edge rusher on the next level.
I love the idea of Mike Green.
I love the player on the field.
I am not going to talk about the off the field stuff because I don’t think he can be drafted here, but his talent is undeniable.
