Mike Green is a star in the making, and the Ravens’ star pass rusher surprised his mom with a new home ahead of the NFL season.
Mike Green has been a blessing for John Harbaugh’s team, and ahead of the season opener, the second-round pick is putting his four-year rookie contract with the Baltimore Ravens to good use, which could pay the pass rusher $7.5 million guaranteed.
Baltimore selected the All-American pass rusher with pick No. 59, and ahead of a huge matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Green surprised his loving mother with a new house.
First-round picks usually have guaranteed four-year deals with a potential fifth-year option, but up until this past April, fully guaranteed contracts weren’t the norm for second-round picks. That all changed when the Texans gave Jayden Higgins, the 34th overall pick, the first fully guaranteed contract ever for a second-round pick on May 8. On May 9, the Browns followed suit, offering Carson Schwesinger, the 33rd overall pick in the second round, a fully guaranteed contract as well.
It was a touchy scenario for Baltimore, which had an urgent need for more explosion at the edge rusher position, so they landed the draft’s most talented but questionable prospect.
Last season, as a redshirt sophomore, Green led the FBS in sacks (17.0), tackles for loss (22.5), sack yardage (144), and tackles by a defensive lineman (84).
His 17 sacks established a new Sun Belt Conference record.
The Ravens also placed safety Ar’Darius Washington on the active/physically unable to perform list. Washington suffered a torn Achilles in mid-May but is expected to return to the field in November or December.
