2023 NFL Draft profile: Lions WR Antoine Green fight’s through adversity makes him NFL ready

With their final pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions selected North Carolina wide receiver Antoine Green. Like with most seventh-round pick, it’s unclear if Green will make the Lions’ final roster or if he’ll have a serious role with the team.

However, we had a good 30-minute chat with North Carolina beat writer Andrew Jones of Tar Heel Illustrated, and he offered some hope that Green’s college career may have just been the tip of the iceberg.

Green had to battle through adversity in almost every single season of his five-year college career as a Tar Heel.
