University career

Following high school, Green did not play football and had work as an industrial painter.[1] After four years away from the game, he joined a recreational team where teammates suggested that he play football in university.[1] Green sent tape to several universities and opted to join the Concordia Stingers of U Sports football, where he played from 2016 to 2017.[1][2][3] He played in 12 games where he recorded six carries for 11 yards and one touchdown in addition to one reception for five yards.[4]

Professional career

Green was drafted in the fourth round, 32nd overall, by the Edmonton Elks in the 2018 CFL Draft and signed with the team on May 16, 2018.[4] He made his professional debut on July 13, 2018, in the team's win against the Toronto Argonauts.[3] He played in eight regular season games, while also spending time on the practice roster, where he recorded seven special teams tackles.[5] In 2019, he received more playing time on offense, recording three receptions for 33 yards, while also tallying 12 special teams tackles and one forced fumble in 12 games played.[6] He also made his post-season debut as he played in both post-season games and recorded three special teams tackles.[6] He did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season, but signed a three-year contract extension on December 31, 2020.[7]

During the 2021 season, Green scored his first career touchdown on November 13, 2021, against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, on a five-yard pass from Taylor Cornelius.[8] He played in 12 regular season games that year where he had two receptions for 11 yards and a touchdown and a career-high 15 special teams tackles.[6] In 2022, Green played in 15 regular season games and recorded four catches for 49 yards and one touchdown and 12 special teams tackles.[6] In 2023, he played in 12 games and had 14 special teams tackles, but finished the year without a reception for the first time since his rookie season.[5] On December 1, 2023, it was announced that Green had signed a two-year contract extension with the Elks.[9]
