Coming out of Lewisville, Texas, Taylen Green was a three-star recruit who committed to Boise State University.

Green’s accolades did not stop there, as he was also named the 2022 Frisco Bowl Offensive MVP.
In 2023, Green announced that he was transferring to the University of Arkansas. Green produced career-high numbers for the Hogs and was named the 2024 Liberty Bowl MVP. In that game, Green became the only FBS quarterback this century to pass for 300+ yards, rush for 75+ yards, average 30+ yards per completion, and throw zero interceptions in a single game.

Rookie Profile | Strengths and Weaknesses
Taylen Green hit the national spotlight after running a 4.36 40-yard dash, the second-fastest time by any QB at the combine. The 6-foot-6, 227-pound Green also logged a 43.5-inch vertical and leapt 11 feet, 2 inches in the broad jump, breaking records set by Anthony Richardson. Clearly, Green’s athleticism is one of his strengths along with his dual-threat capability.
However, Green is far from a polished prospect. While all the physical tools are present in Green, his quarterback play still needs refinement. Green displays spotty accuracy and lacks touch on timing-based throws. Green also needs improvement in his field vision, where he often misses underneath options while opting for the home run play. His mechanics break down under pressure, causing ball placement to vary dramatically from drive to drive, Green has the ceiling of a Justin Fields with a floor of Joe Milton.

Draft Capital | Potential Landing Spots
In terms of draft projection, I wouldn’t be surprised if a team falls in love with Green’s athletic upside and selects him on Day 2, but he is more likely a Day 3 pick given the concerns in his profile. Green is a developmental project and will benefit from sitting like Jalen Milroe has for the Seattle Seahawks. Teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens would be good landing spots where his skill set could fit into a developmental role. As for your rookie drafts, I always like to take fliers on quarterbacks for a possible return on investment, and I would feel comfortable taking Green in the fourth round of your Superflex rookie drafts.
