Renardo Green was here for some really bad times. Stuck with it, switched from corner to safety back to corner and became an exceptional college DB. Now a 2nd round pick! Good for him.
#49ers just got one of the most slept on CBs in the draft in @FSUFootball CB Renardo Green! See below ⬇️🎥 on how he impressed/shutdown first round WRs Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas and (now teammate) Ricky Pearsall this year Shutdown perimeter press CB. #ShrineBowlWhosNext https://t.co/BYwTMMwGLF https://t.co/tGEQh2TJac
Renardo Green is the first FSU player drafted by the 49ers since William Floyd in 1994. That's nuts. Good spot for him, another guy who will have a chance to be a part of a frontrunning team early in his professional career.
Ricky Pearsall scoring on FSU back in 2022. He and Renardo Green will definitely be talking in the locker room during rivalry week. #FTTB | #49ers https://t.co/dd9AmSJbuP

I know nothing about Renardo Green, but the 49ers need a corner and got one. So good on them. They still need an offensive lineman.
New #49ers CB Renardo Green had 14 pass breakups in 2023, the most in the ACC and tied for 4th most in FBS. His lone college interception came against LSU's Jayden Daniels. Green projects as an outside corner in the NFL, though he played some safety in college.
FSU cornerback Renardo Green goes 64th overall to the San Francisco 49ers with the final pick of the second round. A prime example of the development some people argue in bad faith hasn't happened at FSU under Mike Norvell. https://t.co/1rjXyi5XQQ

Renardo Green is my CB14. Extremely athletic with great movement skills. Fluid mover who plays the ball really well. Not very physical. Won't jam. Can get pushed around. Safety/CB hybrid. A bit of a reach by the #49ers #HallamAnalysis
