The Cleveland Browns have selected Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green with the first pick of the sixth round (No. 182 overall) in the 2026 NFL Draft, per @RapSheet.
The Browns acquired the selection in a draft-day trade with the Denver Broncos. Green, a 6-foot-6 dual-threat prospect, is widely considered one of the most physically gifted athletes in the 2026 class. He famously broke the NFL Scouting Combine records for quarterbacks in both the vertical jump (43.5 inches) and broad jump, while clocking a blazing 4.36-second 40-yard dash.
Green spent two seasons at Arkansas after transferring from Boise State, where he established himself as a dangerous runner and developmental passer. In Cleveland, he joins a quarterback depth chart that features Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Deshaun Watson. Analysts suggest the Browns may explore using Green's elite athleticism in a variety of roles given his unique 9.99 Relative Athletic Score.
