Strengths

  • Super athletic - Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 Freak's List at #88. He Wrote:
  • "Green threw for more than 2,000 yards, completing 61 percent of his passes, and was responsible for 24 touchdowns (14 passing, 10 rushing). He then went on to earn Frisco Bowl Offensive MVP honors. He’s 6-6, 230 pounds, but can also hit almost 23 MPH on the GPS. In high school, Green was a 43-foot-5-inch triple jumper"
  • Delivers gorgeous deep balls with natural touch and driving velocity, particularly excelling on vertical routes where his arm strength truly shines.
  • Maintains downfield vision during scramble drills better than most pocket passers, finding secondary receivers while navigating traffic.
  • Runs angry for a quarterback his size, consistently shedding tacklers and showing decisive one-cut ability that produces chunk yardage.
  • Shows impressive command in RPO concepts, quickly identifying defensive leverage and delivering accurate throws while moving laterally.
  • Performs best in spotlight moments, evidenced by clutch plays against ranked Tennessee and his bowl game heroics against Texas Tech.
  • Demonstrated meaningful growth after transferring to Arkansas, improving completion percentage and decision-making against elite competition.
  • Radiates natural leadership that teammates gravitate toward, quickly earning respect in Arkansas locker room despite being a transfer.

Areas to Improve

  • Mechanics break down under pressure, causing ball placement to vary dramatically from drive to drive, especially on intermediate throws.
  • Completion percentage fluctuates wildly game-to-game (70% vs. UAPB, 42% vs. Auburn), reflecting inconsistency that must be addressed.
  • Still developing full-field progressions, sometimes missing open underneath options while waiting for deep shots to materialize.
  • Takes unnecessary hits in open field rather than sliding, raising durability concerns for his high-cut frame at the next level.
  • Lacks refined touch on timing-based throws, often over-relying on fastballs when different trajectories would better serve the route.
