Running Back Rank: #52
Overall: #188
Greene is the future at running back for the Jets. And the future could be this season with Thomas Jones not getting any younger. Greene is a powerful back that does a good job of running between the tackles. He hits the hole in a hurry. The knocks on Greene are he doesn't have top speed and had few receptions in college. He'll need to work on his hands and in blitz pickup if he hopes to be an every-down back in the NFL. Greene has the overall package to be a successful NFL back, but might serve as the third option this season with Jones and Leon Washington ahead of him on the depth chart right now.

| Greene is worth a late-round flyer, but doesn't have great value just yet as long as Jones is still around. He can still get 500 total yards and a couple scores in his current role. His value is much higher in keeper leagues. |
