Duke defensive tackle Josiah Green is a player that the Las Vegas Raiders have interest in prior to the 2026 NFL Draft.
According to ESPN’s Ryan McFadden, the Raiders met with Green following Duke’s pro day this offseason, with the team having “expressed its love for his athleticism.”
Green recorded 3.5 sacks, as well as seven tackles for a loss in his lone season at Duke 2025. The Indiana native played for Dartmouth from 2021-24 prior to transferring to Duke. Green was an unanimous All-Ivy selection in 2024.
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza has garnered much of the attention surrounding the Raiders’ outlook pertaining to the draft as the projected No. 1 overall pick in 2026. However, Las Vegas has other areas of need that they’ll have ample opportunities to address after going on the clock to begin this year’s draft.
