Peoria native and former Illinois lineman has a new home in NFL
PEORIA — Peoria High grad and NFL veteran Kendrick Green has a new home. The offensive lineman signed a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills on Friday.
The 6-foot-3, 310-pound former University of Illinois lineman has played at guard and center in his four NFL seasons, and will ramp up the competition for depth roles in the Bills camp.
Green, 26, spent the last two seasons with the Houston Texans. He appeared in four games in 2023 and all 17 in 2024 with one start. He was on the field for 178 offensive snaps and 79 special teams snaps.
A third-round pick in 2021 out of Illinois, Green started 15 games as a rookie center for the Steelers. In 2022, he transitioned to guard and was inactive for all 17 games.
