That 8.2 ypc is impressive, but largely a product of the spread offense that Hawaii ran. And 4.45 doesn't sound that slow to me. If he shows anything he'll replace BJack as our 3rd-down back.

Biography: Junior college transfer awarded all-Conference honors as a senior with rushing totals of 146/1199/18 and 27/363/1 receiving. Rushing totals the prior year included 86/453/2.

Negatives: Not a physical runner and tends to finish plays out of bounds. Does not display much strength carrying the ball. Must pick up the blocking intensity.

Analysis: Green is a physically gifted ball carrier with the athletic skills and running abilities to make it at the next level. He offers potential as a second back in the NFL if he rounds out his game and carries the ball with more physicality.

Projection: 6th

He runs downhill and has experience in a spread offense. He's a natural pass catcher out of the backfield. Mike McCarthy can move him around. He can line up in the slot as a WR. His hands are that good. I agree that it spells doom for Brandon Jackson. I suspect he was drafted as his replacement. I think he'll be a nice player in the screen game. He could return kicks. This is a scheme fit. He fits into the Packer offense very nicely.

The only thing that bothers me if he is to replace Jackson is that he needs to work on his blocking but IIR, Jackson needed work when he got to GB. But then they were not the defending SB champs and I don't like to see GB slid back in any portion of their game. Esp RBs picking up would be assailants of ARod.

Seems like a niche pick. Our team is so loaded that we have to draft a 3rd down back to ensure he'll make the roster.
