The Ravens have selected edge rusher Mike Green out of Marshall to help fortify their pass rush.
With the 59th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Marshall edge rusher Mike Green.
The Ravens have finally ended the lengthy slide by Green who was widely considered a consensus first-round prospect this year after leading the nation in sacks as a senior for the Thundering Herd.
Here’s what the Ravens are getting in Green:

What the Ravens are getting:
Green is a very productive player who dominated at a Group of 5 program to lead the nation with 17 sacks. Following the season, he stood out in the first two practices of the Reese’s Senior Bowl before choosing to drop from the event to get started on further prep leading up to the NFL Draft. He possesses eye-popping flexibility to duck under and bend around offensive tackles to get his hands on quarterbacks. He wins with a nonstop motor and a bat-out-of-hell mentality that sometimes can come back to bite him. If a team can get him to harness his chaos even further, it won’t take long for him to make a name for himself in the NFL.
