The 2024 NFL Draft is getting close, making it an excellent time to highlight some of the class' best players with scouting reports. Each report will include strengths, weaknesses and background information.
Here's our report on Renardo Green.
Green is one of the better corner prospects in the 2024 Draft as you project and transition him to the next level. His ability to play press man coverage, his high-level competitiveness and his physical toughness set him apart.
Green played in a man-heavy scheme at Florida State and showed all the needed traits to play both mirror-match and physical press coverage to the field and the boundary. He showed poise, patience, comfortable hip transition, targeted physicality, natural quickness and, at times, sudden movement to match up man-to-man on an island. Green was also effective in zone coverage concepts with a good understanding of match, carry and deliver and an awareness of route concepts and combinations.
Overall, Green is a strong outside cornerback prospect with his press man profile featuring both mirror-match and physical jam ability, with good short-area quickness and more-than-functional top-end speed to match quality wide receivers. Green plays with an aggressive, tenacious mindset and approach that, at times, looked like L’Jarius Sneed, a fourth round pick in the 2020 draft out of Louisiana Tech who has developed into one of the better corners in the NFL.
In an evolving league that demands corners be able to line up and play press man, Green is one of the most intriguing corner prospects in the draft class.
Green came out of central Florida as a sought-after recruit choosing Florida State over Ohio State. He played five years at Florida State starting at corner in his final two seasons.
In 2022, Green gained extensive experience playing both right and left corner in Florida State’s defense and therefore, gained extensive experience playing both to the field and the boundary
In 2023, Green again played extensive snaps at both outside corner positions, playing to the field and the boundary. Green played significant snaps in the opening game of the season, matching up to LSU WR Malik Nabers, and he played mirror-match press man at a high level.
In his two years starting, Green was almost exclusively an outside corner, playing more than 1100 snaps outside and only approximately 30 snaps in the slot.
