Green was an All-American selection in 1979 after compiling 134 tackles and was a then school-record 20 quarterback sacks.

Green recorded 97.5 career sacks for the Seahawks (unofficially 115.5; sacks became an official NFL statistic in 1982, Green's third season), a team record and at the time of his retirement good for number three on the all-time sacks leaderboard behind only Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor.
