Description

Kendrick Green (born December 22, 1998) is an American professional football center for the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Illinois and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft.

Early life
Green grew up in Peoria, Illinois and attended Peoria High School, where he was a member of the baseball, football, and wrestling teams. Green was named first-team All-State as a senior after recording 113 tackles, including 33 for a loss, 15 sacks and four forced fumbles as Peoria won the 2016 IHSA 5A state championship. Green committed to play college football at Illinois over an offer from Iowa.

College career
Green redshirted his true freshman season and moved from defensive tackle to offensive line. Green started all 12 of the Illini's games at left guard as a redshirt freshman. He started all of Illinois' games at left guard again in his redshirt sophomore season and was named honorable mention All-Big Ten Conference as well as an honorable mention All-American by Pro Football Focus (PFF). As a redshirt junior, Green started three games at center and five games at guard in the COVID-19 shortened 2020 Big Ten season and was named first-team All-Big Ten and a second-team All-American by USA Today. Following the end of the season, Green declared that he would forgo his redshirt senior season and enter the 2021 NFL draft.
