Moments go viral, but consistency builds legacies. Senior Bowl week is full of highlight clips, but those are just snapshots—they don’t tell the whole story. True evaluations happen rep by rep, where every battle matters. And on Wednesday, a non-powerhouse school’s offensive lineman stole the show, dominating the one-on-one drills. His play wasn’t just strong—it was statement-making.

Marshall’s Mike Green sent shockwaves through Senior Bowl practice on Wednesday. Green bull-rushed Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr. out of his shoes, turning heads in the process. But one play doesn’t define him—it’s just the latest chapter in his rise. Since the 2024 season kicked off, Green has done nothing but grind and dominate. His 17 sacks led the entire FBS, proving he’s not just a flash—he’s the real deal. Green wasn’t some underdog hoping for a shot—he’s already one of the top pass rushers in this year’s class. A projected first-round pick, Green’s name was always going to be called. But overpowering a tackle who spent the season protecting Dillon Gabriel? Now that’s a statement. On a stage filled with elite talent, Green didn’t just show up—he took over.

And now, the standout OL of Marshall knows when to make his exit—and he’s doing it in style. According to the X post of NFL draft analyst, Field Yates, after dominating at the Senior Bowl, Green and his team have decided to call it a wrap. The focus now? The 2025 NFL Draft. His statement has been made, his stock is soaring, and as they say—his work is done. As of now, to continue preparing for the draft, he heads home.

Let’s to be honest, one thing is certain—every NFL team needs pass rushers. In today’s game, pressure isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Disrupting the pocket, forcing negative plays, making quarterbacks sweat—that’s Green’s specialty. Safe to say, if you are looking for a small-school gem to get behind this spring; Mike Green is your guy. The Marshall edge rusher is a pure disruptor, climbing draft boards fast.

Where might the OL’s play end up in the NFL draft?

In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Marshall offensive lineman could hear his name called in the late first or early second round. But when it comes to defense, Green is the real headliner. Mel Kiper Jr. ranks him as the third-best outside linebacker, though he’s more than that—he’s a pure pass-rushing force. Whether you label him a linebacker or a defensive lineman, one thing is clear—he’s built to terrorize quarterbacks.

As of current report, NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah has Green landing in Detroit at No. 28 in his latest mock draft. And the fit? Perfect. Pairing Green with Aidan Hutchinson would give the Lions a lethal pass-rushing duo. On top of that, Jeremiah believes Detroit needs another elite rusher to keep teams from double-teaming Hutchinson. And Green could be that guy—a relentless force off the edge, ready to wreak havoc.

Although he is a pass-rushing nightmare, but questions remain about his run defense. His size has some scouts wondering if he can hold up in the trenches. Pro Football Network projects him as a late first or early second-round pick, but they see room for growth—literally. To dominate at the next level, they believe he needs to add muscle. If he does? He could be a true game-changer.

And in the NFL, if Mike Green is selected in the first round and it’s not the Lions, he might end up with the Buffalo Bills at 30th. However, it appears that Green will be chosen from a pool of 25–40 candidates. Now, you’ll be curious to see where the offensive lineman ends up playing in the NFL.
