Greene is a productive wideout heading to the NFL.

The Jaguars selected receiver Rashad Greene, one of Florida State's best players in program history in the 5th round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Greene is the all-time leader in receptions and yards at Florida State.

In 2014, Greene was a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist (nation's best wide receiver), selected second-team All-American and first-team All-ACC. He started all 14 games and set a single-season school record for receptions with 99. Became Florida State career leader in receptions and receiving yards.

Greene is a very savvy receiver with great quickness and good speed. And he is a very intelligent player and a quiet leader who never got in trouble at FSU. But he struggles to get off the press at times and is 5'11, 182, which profiles more as a slot receiver.

"To me Rashad has Derek Jeter syndrome, head coach Jimbo Fisher said. "He's a guy that never won a whole lot of awards but was a big time contributor on winning teams and makes critical plays at critical times."

"Rashad is an outstanding player, I'm blessed to have him as a wide receiver, this whole program is blessed to have him", Jameis Winston said.
