Despite a decorated college career, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Green\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> path in the pros has been anything but smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trying to Beat the Bust Label<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kenyon <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Green\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> struggles began right away in Houston. Ronnie Eastham of ToroTimes in his July 2023 article, highlighted how <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">in 2022 PFF ranked Green 77th out of 77 guards and he received a 37.3 grade, while allowing 47 pressures. Green also finished tied with the second-most penalties in the league with 12.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Texans finally moved on from Green this offseason when they traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles for safety CJ Gardner-Johnson and a 2026 sixth-round pick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Green <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was expected<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to compete for the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Eagles\u2019<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> starting guard role after the departure of Mekhi Becton in free agency, but Green faded quickly in training camp and lost the role to Tyler Steen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the end of the preseason, Green <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was waived<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> by the Eagles. He was subsequently signed and waived twice before being re-signed. Now the Ravens are giving Green a shot to make the team.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Todd Monken is Not Concerned With the Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Ravens offered little resistance to the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lions\u2019<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> pass rush on Monday.
