Browns Draft Dual-Threat QB Taylen Green

0:00On April 29th, the Cleveland Browns just wrapped up their quarterback room by snagging tailing green with the 182nd pick in the 2,026 NFL draft. This dual-threat standout from Arkansas made program history over two seasons as a starter, putting up monster numbers as both a passer and runner, coming from a hoops family. Green's dad Quentin balled at Colin College, and his sister Nia was a McDonald's All-American who played at Louisville, and Duke. He grew up shooting hoops with her, but foot-to-foot ball at Alan High in Texas, same spot that cranked out Kyler Murray and other pros before. Transferring to Louisville for his junior and senior years, meanwhile, Green wasn't just slinging in on the grid iron. He lettered in track, smashing Louisville's long jump record at 23 feet 5 inches, with personal best and triple jump and the 400 meter dash. But athleticism turned heads and set him up for big college plays. At Boise State, he redshirted it in 2021 and played two years before transferring to

1:04Arkansas, where his production exploded. He ranked third in the SEC for total yards per game, at 290.9 in 2025, and topped the FPS in chunk plays. Over 10 or 20 yards. Green etched his name and Razorback's lore as the first ever to hit 300 passing and 100 rushing yards in the game, with 6-3, 100 yard passing games, and 16 rushing touchdowns. The Browns are betting that Arkansas Fire carries over to the pros.
