Overview

  • Mike Green, projected as a first-round talent, fell to the second round of the NFL Draft following two unresolved sexual assault allegations from his high school and college years.
  • Green has denied any wrongdoing, was never charged, and stated he was open about the allegations during pre-draft interviews with NFL teams.
  • The Ravens conducted what they described as a thorough investigation and expressed confidence in their decision to draft Green at No. 59 overall.
  • At rookie minicamp, Green declined to elaborate on the allegations, instead focusing on his future with the Ravens and the opportunity to grow within their organization.
