2027 Summer Scouting Report: Trey'Dez Green, TE, LSU

Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota. 

Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans. 

So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Player Summary

Trey’Dez Green is such a unique prospect because, based on his size and movement ability, he fits what you want from a first-round tight end. He is a liability, though, as a blocker, so it will be interesting to see what the NFL thinks of him. What sticks out on the positive side of things is the receiving work. He has a decent route tree, reliable hands, and uses his body control to make plays over defenders. He is going to be mocked in the first round for several months, and deservedly so, but the blocking needs to be fixed, or his draft stock will be an interesting talk.
