Browns selected Arkansas QB Taylen Green with the No. 182 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

Green (6’6/227) is one of the more impressive athletes we’ve seen at the quarterback position in recent memory. The former Arkansas Razorback blessed a 4.36 40-yard dash at this year’s Scouting Combine, and earned an elite 9.99 RAS after also dominating in the vertical and broad jumps. There’s no question about what Green can offer as an athlete, but his passing profile includes far too many turnovers (47 turnovers in 46 career starts), and a career completion percentage (60.0 percent) that leaves much to be desired. Green played his first three college seasons at Boise State (2021-2023) before transferring to Arkansas, and struggled at times against the higher level of play. After showing a tendency to avoid sacks in 28 games at Boise State, Green was sacked 59 times in 25 games at Arkansas and had a concerning 18.5 percent pressure-to-sack rate in his last two seasons. A decent 2025 season ended with struggles down the stretch, as Green posted a 342-0-3 line on 54 passes in his final three games to end his career. Green’s athleticism makes him an interesting project at the next level, and with some help in his mechanics. It’s possible he could figure things out enough to turn into a quality starter, and that his elite athleticism overcomes his deficiencies as a passer. He’s a prime candidate to redshirt his first season or two while adjusting to the pro game. Green will compete with Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel for reps in 2026.
