Overview

  • The Baltimore Ravens used the 59th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to select Mike Green, a standout edge rusher from Marshall University.
  • Green led the NCAA in sacks (17), tackles for loss (22.5), and sack yardage during the 2024 season, tying a single-season record at Marshall.
  • The player’s draft stock fell due to two uncharged sexual assault allegations—one in high school and another at the University of Virginia in 2022—which Green denies.
  • Ravens GM Eric DeCosta stated the team conducted a thorough investigation into the allegations and felt confident in their decision to draft Green.
  • Green joins a Ravens pass-rush unit known for its depth and production, while the organization faces scrutiny over its handling of player conduct policies.
