Shonn Greene, RB, IowaMeasurables:
Combine height: 5-10 1/2
Combine weight: 227 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.62 seconds

Stats:
Greene carried 307 times for 1,850 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and 20 touchdowns, rushing for at least 100 yards in each of his 13 games. Green added eight catches for 49 yards as a receiver. Lightly used during his first two years at Iowa, and out of football in 2007 due to academic issues, Greene totaled 2,277 yards and 22 touchdowns on 376 carries as a Hawkeye, with 72 yards on 11 receptions.

Skill Set:
Viewed by some scouts as the best “big” back in this year’s draft, Greene has good size and a thick frame which he uses to his advantage. Greene runs with his pads low, powering through arm tackles and giving defenders little to hit—then falling forward to finish the run. He has good quickness to the hole, decent footwork in the hole, and good vision to find the opening. With just one year of mileage, Greene comes to the NFL with fresh legs.
