- Rasheem Green is a key-cog to the talented USC front-seven. Green is a well-rounded defender who is grading positively this season both as a run-defender and a pass-rusher this seas. His versatility is also valuable to the Trojans’ defense as his 6-foot-4, 275-pound frame allows him to play snaps both at defensive end and defensive tackle and he has started at both positions for USC.
- Green has shown he can generate the interior pass-rush that NFL teams covet as he has graded positively all five games this season as a pass-rusher. Green has one sack, four QB hits, 16 total pressures and two batted passes on his 178 pass-rushing snaps in 2017. The early results of 2017 are backing up Green’s 2016 pass-rushing performance which saw him collect eight sacks, nine QB hits, 44 hurries and three batted passes.
- Green’s 2017 pass-rushing productivity rating of 11.0 ranks No. 2 among all FBS defensive tackles with at least 100 pass-rushing snaps. Green has generated at least one quarterback pressure for 10 straight weeks and hasn’t been held without a pressure since Week 9 of the 2016 season. Green’s name should only pick up steam as the draft approaches.
