Taylen Green Scouting Report

Taylen Green is a big-framed quarterback with elite athleticism, allowing him to create explosive plays on offense.

Draft Grade: Round 4 - Developmental Traits

Strengths:

Athleticism: Green checks all the boxes athletically—speed, acceleration, and explosiveness—which he effectively uses both as a passer and a runner.

Elusiveness: In the open field, Green combines top-end speed with excellent elusiveness, allowing him to evade multiple defenders on a single play and consistently pick up yardage.

Strong Arm: Green has demonstrated a powerful arm, enabling him to consistently drive the ball vertically downfield to his receivers.

Concerns:

Accuracy: Green’s accuracy can be inconsistent across short, intermediate, and deep throws, occasionally resulting in incompletions or missed opportunities.

Release/Throwing Mechanics: Green’s release is somewhat elongated, which slows down his throw time. This can give defenders additional time to break on the ball, increasing the risk of deflections or interceptions.

Reading Defenses: Green can be inconsistent in diagnosing defensive coverages during a play. This sometimes leads to holding onto the football too long and missing throws that require anticipation.
