It didn't take long for rookie outside linebacker Mike Green to give back to those who supported him along the way.
Less than two months after signing his rookie contract, Green recently bought his mom a house, he announced on Instagram.
"From living in every part of the Burg (Williamsburg, Va.), from staying with [people], from hotel to hotel, from section 8, from years with no home, you always made a way to satisfy us," Green wrote on Instagram. "I told you many times since a kid I'll buy you your own [house] and here we are years later standing on business! Many more [blessings] to come but [definitely] my biggest milestone."
Green's mom was by his side when he received the phone call from General Manager Eric DeCosta on the second night of the draft. The Marshall product is expected to play a significant role in the Ravens' pass rush this season after leading the nation with 17 sacks last season.
