Mike Green’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Mike Green’s dismissal from Virginia must be properly vetted, but if he passes the character check for NFL teams, he has the talent to be a top-15 player in the 2025 NFL Draft. Green is the most prolific pass-rush producer in the class, coming off a 2024 campaign that featured 17 sacks and 23 TFLs.
At 6’3″, 251 pounds, with 32″ arms, Green’s length and mass are visibly non-elite, but Green nonetheless terrorizes tackles with his explosiveness, bend, agility, and thorough execution.
His three-cone time near the 99th percentile is evidence of his athleticism and fluidity, and he also has surprising play strength as an edge-setter in run support. Best utilized as a wide-alignment rusher in odd and hybrid-front schemes, Green has impact starter potential.

Mike Green’s Latest NFL Draft Projections
PFSN’s Ian Cummings projected Green to be drafted 19th in his most recent 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
Cummings said, “Mike Green’s dismissal from Virginia must be investigated by teams, but nothing has indicated he’ll be off the board for many teams in Round 1. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers met with him at the NFL Scouting Combine and could leap at the chance to bring his pass-rush ability in-house.
“At 6’3″, 251 pounds, Green has the burst and bend of a finesse rusher, but the compact mass and finishing hand strength of a truly complete operator on the attack. He gives Tampa Bay a kind of pass-rush utility they haven’t had in years at the EDGE slot.”

Only one player can lead the FBS in sacks each year. In 2024, that player was Mike Green. In his second year at Marshall, Green amassed 17 sacks and 23 tackles for loss, earning Sun Belt Player of the Year honors, national acclaim, and an invite to the Senior Bowl.
Green has since aced the offseason process, and he’s viewed as a consensus first-round talent. His explosiveness and bend stand out at 6’3″, 251 pounds, but he also has surprising speed-to-power, efficient and synergetic hands, and strength in run defense.
For Green, the on-field evaluation isn’t the only factor. Teams will need to carefully vet his dismissal from Virginia. If Green passes the background check and character evaluation, he has the tools to be a dynamic pass-rush catalyst for odd and hybrid-front teams.
