After playing in Tampa Catholic High School, he was rated the No. 6 offensive lineman in the nation.
Green committed to the University of Florida over Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee and USC as a 4-star recruit. He redshirted the 2010 NCAA football season, after dressing for 12 games but not recording a play.
In 2011, he started the first 8 games at right tackle before injuring his ankle and missing 4 games. Green earned Freshman All-American honors.
As a sophomore, he recorded 10 starts, but missed two games due to injury. He missed the entire 2013 season after suffering a torn labrum prior to the opener. The next year he started 11 games, playing both right (9 games) and left tackle (2 games) positions.
Green was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round (91st overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft, after dropping because of durability issues. After injuring his hip during organized team activities, he had hip surgery on June 16, which caused him to miss all of training camp and start the season on the physically unable to perform list. Although he was activated on December 3 from the PUP list, he was declared inactive in the last 5 games of the season.
Green suffered a sprained foot on October 2, 2016 that held him out several weeks before developing a back issue. He underwent surgery for a herniated disc in his back and was placed on injured reserve on December 16, 2016.
