Mike Green Denies Sexual Assault Allegations Amid NFL Draft Buzz
Mike Green, the NCAA Division I sack leader from Marshall, has made waves at the NFL Scouting Combine, but not just for his impressive football skills. During interviews in Indianapolis, Green addressed two sexual assault allegations made against him—one from his time at Virginia and another from high school. He denied any wrongdoing, emphasizing that he was never charged in either case.
Green explained the situation regarding the Virginia incident, saying it was an anonymous report and there was no follow-up investigation, while the case from high school was closed after due diligence. Despite the allegations, Green stressed that he has always told the truth and has never been questioned or charged with a crime.
On the field, Green was lauded for his performance last season, finishing with 17 sacks, making him one of the most intriguing first-round prospects. Pro Football Focus ranked him as the second-best edge rusher in the country. His blend of size and speed at 6-foot-3, 251 pounds caught the attention of teams like the Detroit Lions, who have already met with him formally.
While his past might raise concerns for some, Green is focused on showing his abilities to NFL teams, confident that his play on the field speaks for itself.
