Round 3, No. 71, CB A.J. Green, Oklahoma State
Drafting an outside corner to compliment Casey Hayward is something the Chargers will most likely look to accomplish early on in the draft, specifically one who fits well into defensive coordinator Gus Bradley’s scheme and meets the thresholds.
Insert Green.
Green, the 6-foot-1 and 202 pounder played primarily on the outside in Oklahoma State’s defense where he was used both in zone and man coverage. The Texas native played in 48 games, starting 39 of them.
Green has the length to disrupt receivers, the turn-and-run ability to stay on the hip of the wideout along with adequate eye discipline and closing speed to make plays on the football.
In four seasons for the Cowboys, Green amassed 147 tackles, 21 passes defensed and six interceptions.
