Mike Green has the skillset to be a special player at the next level. If he adjusts from the speed of the Sun Belt to the speed of the NFL, he will be a productive pass rusher and run defender off of a 3-4 alignment. Charles Huff was the former Marshall head coach. He worked with Nick Saban at Alabama. Huff said that Green would have started at Alabama during his time there.
