Draft Profile: Bio
Nyland Green from Newton High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 5-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Green opted to join Georgia after being heavily recruited.

In 2021 as a freshman Green saw action in just 3 games and played a total of 11 snaps at cornerback for the Bulldogs. He recorded only one tackle, one assist, while adding no stops. In coverage Green notched up no pass breakups, no interceptions, and an outstanding QB rating when targetted of .0.

As a sophomore in 2022 he played in 5 games and logged 33 snaps for the Bulldogs. He made only one tackle, no assists, and had no stops. In coverage he totaled no pass breakups, no interceptions, and QB rating when targetted of 112.5.

In 2023 as a junior Green played in 7 games and contributed on 94 snaps. He chalked up only 2 tackles, no assists, and added one stop. In the secondary Green forced one pass breakup, no interceptions, and gave up an outstanding QB rating when targetted of 40.6.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • While built more like a cornerback than a safety, Green has the vision, range, hitting ability, and ball skills teams want at free safety in the pass-heavy NFL.
  • Explodes out of his backpedal and has the hands and coordination to force interceptions.
  • Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
  • Extremely aggressive to come up and put his body in traffic to make tackles.
  • Fluid mover with decent speed and his length allows him to cover effectively downfield
  • Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Green gets beat over the top too often, and Green tends to panic and get too handsy when running downfield.
  • Isn’t great in route recognition when he’s facing the action, is hesitant and susceptible to double moves, and too often gets unnecessarily handsy when playing trail position
  • Gets sloppy with his backpedal when playing off-man and seems to lack the instincts to close on the ball.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
