Taylen Green

● Tall, with a muscular upper body; freely carries his 225 pounds ● True dual-threat, because of his mobility and tight spiral ● Dangerous on QB draws/options, with high success rate as a scrambler on money downs ● Routinely created explosives on the ground (73 carries of 10-plus yards over past two seasons) ● Big body leaves would-be tacklers falling off him in the pocket and in space ● Slides inside and outside of pocket to buy time and throw on the move ● Can make every throw with velocity ● Aggressive passer who will challenge safeties when given the chance ● Voted a team captain in 2025 and carries himself the right way (NFL scout: “Always laughing and really sharp. … [He] wants to motivate you.”) ● Durable and tough — refuses to come off the field ● First player in school history with 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in a single game

● Long body type, with thin lower half ● Funky, long delivery (too many batted passes for a player his size) ● Late getting to backside dig — needs to eliminate things more quickly in his reads ● Doesn’t throw with a ton of anticipation; late to locate lurkers ● Inconsistent mechanics and weight transfer go hand-in-hand with streaky ball placement ● Too willing to throw into traffic and needs to take better care of the football ● Didn’t show much improvement with pocket presence between junior and senior tape ● More likely to work backward or roll out than climb in pocket

A two-year starter at Arkansas (and four-year starter overall), Green was a dual-threat quarterback in former offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino’s balanced, spread scheme. After three years at Boise State, he blossomed in Fayetteville and in 2025 ranked No. 3 in the SEC in total yards per game (290.9). He has been one of the most productive quarterbacks in college football — over the past two seasons, he ranked No. 1 in the FBS in plays of 10-plus yards (315) and 20-plus yards (109). One of the most physically gifted players in the 2026 draft class (at any position), Green is big, athletic and competes with NFL-required toughness. He is a playmaker outside the pocket (with both his arm and legs), and his highlight package is full of “wow” moments. However, he is inconsistent working through his reads, and you hold your breath every time he throws over the middle. He takes too many unnecessary chances — he committed a combined 37 turnovers the past two seasons (20 interceptions, 17 fumbles). Overall, Green needs to take better care of the football and refine his mechanics and passing rhythm, but he offers the physical traits and high character worth molding in a read-option, vertical passing game. 14 Back to table of contents -- 18 of 629 --
