Drafted: ROUND: 2 - Pick Number: 64 (SF)
Draft Profile: Bio
Emerging from Wekiva High School as a heralded recruit, Renardo Green chose FSU. Initially rated as a 4-star prospect by ESPN and a 3-star by 247Sports.In his 2019 freshman season, Green appeared in 11 games, contributing with 5 tackles and 2 pass breakups, playing a total of 164 defensive snaps. This experience laid the groundwork for his development as a cornerstone in FSU's secondary. The following year, despite the challenges presented by a shortened season, he played in 5 games.
The upward trajectory continued into 2021, with Green taking part in 4 games and tallying 8 tackles, 5 assists, and 3 stops on 209 snaps. His coverage skills notably sharpened, as evidenced by an elite quarterback rating when targeted of 46.5. His senior campaign in 2022 saw him reach new heights, participating in 12 games and amassing 48 tackles, 6 assists, and 17 stops across 526 snaps, in addition to securing 3 pass breakups.
2023, his fifth year, underscored Green's evolution into a defensive stalwart. Featuring in 13 games and logging 651 snaps, he recorded 36 tackles, 5 assists, and 12 stops, along with a career-best 13 pass breakups and his first collegiate interception, maintaining a quarterback rating when targeted of 75.0.
Scouting Report: Strengths

- Displays exceptional reaction speed and ability to match releases off the line, showcasing his competitive edge.
- Proficient in press-man coverage, using patience and discipline to effectively disrupt receivers' routes.
- Strong open-field tackler with good leverage and angles, highlighting his physicality and aggression.
- Demonstrates solid coverage skills against top competition, particularly noted in his performance against LSU's Malik Nabers.
- Reveals versatility in both man and zone coverage, adapting quickly to different defensive schemes.
- Capable of making impactful plays in run support, evidencing his comprehensive skill set beyond pass defense.
- Experienced in various secondary positions, contributing to his adaptability and value in different defensive setups.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Around average size for a cornerback, with limitations in sink and adaptability due to his build.
- Sometimes exhibits uncontrolled footwork and balance, especially when matching receivers' releases.
- Occasionally over-zealous with physicality beyond the initial contact window, risking penalties.
- Shows bouts of hesitation and inconsistency in zone coverage when facing complex route combinations.
- Needs improvement in tracking the ball downfield and converting potential interceptions.
Scouting Report: Summary
Renardo Green as a prospect, exhibits a blend of raw athleticism and technical refinement, across the entire defensive backfield. As a senior he made a major performance step-up, however, despite these strides, questions linger around his consistency in run support and occasional lapses in coverage discipline, which NFL teams will scrutinize closely.Green's skill set offers a mix of physicality, agility, and football IQ, traits coveted at the next level. His ability to jam receivers at the line, coupled with the agility to recover and contest catches, positions him as a serious asset in man-coverage schemes. Yet, his game tape reveals moments of over-aggressiveness, leading to penalties, and challenges in maintaining hip fluidity against double moves and complex route trees.
Looking ahead, Green's potential role on an NFL roster is promising, with the versatility to contribute both outside and in the slot. His progression at FSU demonstrates a ceiling that pro coaches will be more than happy trying to develop, particularly in press-man and zone schemes where his physical approach and ball skills can shine. Nevertheless, to carve out a significant role and maximize his draft value, honing his technique in run support and polishing his footwork and hip flexibility will be crucial.
Expect him to ride the bench early in year one, but given his impressive coverage skills and ability to play both slot corner and free safety he could well be the starter come week seventeen.
