Why Taylen Green's biggest lesson in first season with Arkansas football came off the field

Fort Smith, ARSports

Taylen Green, the Arkansas Razorbacks quarterback, seeks to enhance his performance in 2024 after a tumultuous first season. He acknowledges the significance of injury prevention, having dealt with nine interceptions and eight fumbles last year. Experiencing the SEC's physical nature firsthand has driven him to focus on body maintenance and new training routines. Green emphasizes the importance of waking up early, staying hydrated, and improving his nutrition. He has gained 11 pounds since last season, bolstering his physical readiness.

His strength and conditioning team has played a crucial role in educating him on effective practices. Improved offensive line protection could allow Green to surpass last year's performance of 3,154 passing yards and 23 total touchdowns. Success in the upcoming season may solidify his status as a viable NFL Draft prospect.
