Professional career

Pre-draft

On January 13, 2018, Green announced his decision to forgo his remaining eligibility and enter the 2018 NFL Draft. [5] He attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and completed all of the combine drills, but opted to skip the bench press. Green underwent an MRI on both knees at the combine after undergoing a knee reconstruction and surgery on his ACL in the past. His MRI showed his ACL was "wavy" which caused some uneasiness among teams. [6]
