Overview
Kenyon played his high school ball for Atascocita High School and was considered one of the top OL in the Houston, Texas area. In 2019, as a true freshman, Green started all 13 games at right guard. He earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors. In 2020 Kenyon started all 10 games at left guard. He earned Consensus All-American honors from multiple media groups. Green also was recognized as Second-Team All-Sec, and was a semifinalist for the Outland Trophy. Going into 2021 Kenyon was named a team captain and started all 12 games. Kenyon played every position along the offensive line aside from center. He earned First-Team All-Sec honors and was voted AP All-America First Team.
Strengths
Kenyon Green is a guy in 2021 who was forced to play every position on the OL aside from center and he held his own in every spot very well. I see him more as a guard but a team could get away with playing him at RT. Green is a big strong man. He plays with a strong anchor, and has strong hands that keep defensive Linemen in their place. Kenyon is very comfortable in pass protection; he switches off rushers on twist stunts with ease. His head was always on the lookout for free rushers and did a very nice job of going out of his way to clean them up. For his size at 325 pounds, he actually has very good balance and I see a lot of room to improve that as well. Green also has very quick feet for his size, especially in pass pro, one of the reasons I think he’d certainly have a good chance to be serviceable as a RT in the NFL. I see the best aspect of his game right now as a pass blocker where he was essentially an eraser as an OG in that area. As a run blocker I see a lot of upside though as well. He has the strength to move people out of the hole. I saw a strong finishing ability in the run game, I occasionally saw the ability to break off and pick up second level blocks. Green played with a pretty solid level of consistency over the course of the games I watched of him, especially considering all the moving he had to do along the line. More of a power run scheme player as opposed to zone. He didn’t get enough opportunities but he is a very good lead blocker when they ask him to pull.
Weaknesses/Room for Improvement
To be honest most of the issues that I had with Green were when he was playing at tackle, which I project him more as a guard anyways. Most of which being, he struggled with speed rushers on the outside. When Green gets beat he has a knack for grabbing some jersey and picking up holding calls. I question his ability to block out in space. Green struggled keeping himself square to the target on second level blocks out in space. This left him often grasping air rather than defenders. In the run game I saw consistently(especially earlier in the season) his technique dip below a level you’d expect for a high profile pick. He plays too high at times which leads to him losing the leverage battle and getting beat on plays. His hand placement could use refining. Saw numerous plays where he finds his arms wrapped around a defender rather than in between the shoulder pads. If he’s able to refine his technique though, his ceiling would be so much higher. Texas A&M runs the ball a fair amount but they still play more of a spread type offense. I always feel like the transition can be tougher for offensive linemen who come from a spread style offense in college. Green lacks elite length or quickness to be considered a top tackle prospect, I just believe he has enough ability to play that role in a pinch.
Scheme fit
Flexible but I see more potential in a power run scheme.
