Running Back Rank: #17 Overall: #27
Greene didn't quite have the second season as expected. He battled some consistency issues and a slow start cut into his playing time early in the year. He played better down the stretch, though, especially in the playoffs, giving some encouragement for 2011. Greene had one 100-yard game and seven games with 50-plus rushing yards. He also had eight games with fewer than 50-rushing yards, proving his inconsistent season. Greene did set career highs in rushing (766) and receiving (120). He has a chance to get more carries in 2011 as the Jets top back. Greene is a powerful back that does a good job of running between the tackles. He hits the hole in a hurry. He battled some fumbling issues last season, causing the coaching staff to lose some confidence in him. Greene improved as a receiver last season, but still is just adequate in that area.

Greene has the makeup of a Michael Turner, so the potential is there for big things. His four touchdowns in two seasons, though, hurt his overall value. Take him as a No. 2 back and hope for a breakout season. It is very possible, but reaching for him higher than that is a big risk. A season with 1,300 total yards and eight or so touchdowns seem realistic for Greene in his third season in the NFL. |
