Green held his own against Nabers, allowing only 2 receptions for 20 yards out of 6 targets and securing an interception in a college game.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan recognized Green's performance against Nabers in their pre-draft assessment, leading to their interest in drafting him.
The 49ers have been aiming to strengthen their outside cornerback position, with Green's versatility in playing various secondary roles providing added value to the team.
