Ravens Land Edge Rusher Mike Green with 59th Pick

The Baltimore Ravens have secured a promising talent by drafting edge rusher Mike Green with the 59th overall pick in Friday night's NFL Draft.

While some speculated Green might be taken earlier, his fall to the Ravens could prove serendipitous. Landing in Baltimore provides Green the chance to contribute to a squad that consistently vies for contention.

Green's journey to the NFL wasn't short of hurdles. He started at Virginia but transferred to Marshall amid a suspension following accusations of sexual assault. Despite the off-field turmoil, Green thrived on the field, topping national charts with 17 sacks during the 2024 season.

The Ravens' roster boasts a formidable group of edge rushers, including Kyle Van Noy, Odafe Oweh, David Ojabo, and Tavius Robinson. Green's addition injects fresh talent into an already competitive rotation, setting the stage for a dynamic defensive lineup.
