Summary

B.J. Green II was undrafted in the 2025 Class out of University of Colorado. Green arrives in the NFL as a highly promising, under-the-radar edge rusher with elite burst, strong college production and notable upside. His major strengths center around his quickness, production and playing-with-motor. The primary limitations stem from his size relative to NFL norms, consistency in heavier roles (run-defense/anchor) and the need to turn his tool-box into a refined pro-game. With the right coaching, scheme fit, and developmental time, he could become a valuable contributor.

Strengths

• Explosion & first-step burst
  Green demonstrated elite quickness off the snap, especially for his size. At Colorado he recorded 7.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss in 2024. His 10-yard splits and shuttle times drew praise at his pro-day/showcase. Sko Buffs Sports

• Disruptive pass-rush traits
  While at Arizona State and Colorado, Green consistently showed an ability to beat blocks, generate pressures, and get into the backfield. For instance, his college profile noted a 22.4 % pressure rate on pass-rush snaps during one stretch. University of Colorado Athletics

• Production on film / playmaking inside the tackle box
  His college stats reflect a steady increase in production: for example, in 2023 he posted 39 tackles, 11.5 TFL and six sacks at ASU. At Colorado he added 33 tackles (14 solo), 12 TFLs and 7.5 sacks. University of Colorado Athletics

• Underdog mindset and rapid improvement
  Coming in as a walk-on at ASU and working his way into a key role displays strong work ethic and developmental curve.

Weaknesses

• Size / length for NFL standard
  Built somewhat like a fire hydrant at 6′1″ and ~270 lbs, Green is somewhat undersized compared to many prototypical DE/EDGE players who often are 6′3-6′6 and 280+ lbs or more. That may affect his ability to hold up against larger blockers or consistently anchor in run-heavy situations.

• Run-defense consistency & anchor ability
  While his pass-rush is his strength, film and scouting reports suggest he still needs more polish in setting the edge, being steadier when the offense runs at him, and maintaining pad level and hand control in heavier run matchups.

• Technical consistency & refined pass-rush toolbox
  Green has strong physical tools, but some reports indicate his move-set (hand usage, counter moves) is still developing—meaning that when his first move is slowed or blocked, he may not yet have the fully refined arsenal of an elite edge rusher.

• Rookie status & developmental time
  Given he entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent, he likely begins lower on the depth chart and must prove he can transition his college flashes into consistent pro-level repeatable performance. Game speed, strength of opposition, and depth will be big factors.

Fit & Outlook

Given his burst, agility, and production, Green is well-suited for a defense that uses him in sub-packages, pass-rush situations, stunts and where he can attack rather than be a full-time 300-snap every-down edge initially. A team that values rotation and allows younger players to develop is ideal. If he refines his strength, improves his run-defense, and builds a fuller pass-rush move-collection, his ceiling could be as a productive starter or impactful rotational edge. His floor is that of a solid rotational depth piece who can win snaps in favorable match-ups.
