Marshall defensive end Mike Green’s draft stock is reportedly plummeting as he heads into the second day of the NFL Draft. Initially projected as a first-round pick in many mock drafts, Green’s prospects have taken a hit due to off-field issues, specifically serious sexual assault allegations that have surfaced.
Green, who previously denied allegations from his high school days and a prior incident in Virginia, has struggled to make a positive impression during team interviews. This lackluster performance has left NFL teams hesitant to select him, contributing to his declining draft stock.
According to NFL Insider John Frascella, Green’s drop in the draft can be attributed not only to the sexual assault allegations but also to his poor showing in the interview process. Teams are now approaching Green’s potential selection with caution, taking into account both his on-field talent and off-field behavior.
As the NFL Draft unfolds, it remains to be seen where Green will ultimately be selected and how his off-field issues will impact his professional career. For now, the once-promising prospect finds himself facing uncertainty as he navigates the challenges of the draft process.
