Taylen Green, Mike Washington draw NFL scouts at Arkansas football Pro Day

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ Pro Day on Friday inside Walker Pavilion doubled as a coming-out party for quarterback Taylen Green and running back Mike Washington, with representatives from all 32 NFL teams and four CFL clubs on hand to gauge the Razorbacks’ draft hopefuls.

Green, fresh off record-setting vertical and broad-jump marks at the 2026 NFL Combine, used the workout to showcase the cannon that helped him throw for 3,000-plus yards in each of his final two collegiate seasons. The 6-6, 235-pounder saved his best for last, rolling left and uncorking a 50-plus-yard strike across his body to junior receiver CJ Brown, who coasted into the end zone. Green punctuated the throw by sprinting downfield and dunking the football over the crossbar.

“I have a strong arm and can throw any football route,” Green said. “I feel like one of my strong suits is that.” He credited former Arkansas offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino for expanding his route tree, adding that Petrino “definitely taught me a lot of balls.”

Taylor Kelly, a former Arizona State quarterback and current 3DQB trainer in Huntington Beach, California, ran Green through the position drills. Green said the combine success allowed him to focus solely on throwing Friday. “That takes a lot of pressure off of Pro Day,” he said. “I was not going to do anything but just throw, so that’s what it was.”

Washington, whose 4.33-second 40-yard dash in Indianapolis was the fastest among running backs, continued to build momentum. ESPN’s Mel Kiper now slots him third at the position, behind Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price. Washington said he has held formal meetings with the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans, with scouts intrigued by his downhill style and verified breakaway speed.

“A lot of the scouts wanted to see if I could catch out the backfield [and] pass protect,” Washington said. “They knew I could run the ball, but just kind of checking those boxes for them … I was able to do that.”

Training at X3 Performance and Physical Therapy in Fort Myers, Florida, Washington added bench-press reps, 5-10-5 shuttle, 3-cone and position drills to the resume he started at the combine. “Really just checking the boxes,” he said.

All six Razorbacks who competed in Indianapolis — Green, Washington, cornerback Julian Neal, defensive lineman Cam Ball, offensive lineman Fernando Carmona and linebacker Xavian Sorey — participated in Pro Day. Defensive backs Caleb Wooden, Kani Walker, Larry Worth, Jordan Young and Shakur Smalls, linebackers Stephen Dix and Trent Whalen, receivers O’Mega Blake and Raylen Sharpe, tight end Rohan Jones, defensive linemen Phillip Lee and Frank Mulipola, offensive lineman Corey Robinson, long snapper Ashton Ngo and punter Devin Bale also worked out. Official measurements and times were not released to reporters.
