New Orleans VooDoo News Release
NEW ORLEANS (September 13, 2013) - The New Orleans VooDoo have been assigned wide receiver and New Orleans native Skyler Green, announced the VooDoo front office Friday, September 13, 2013.
Green (5-9, 190, LSU) made his debut in the AFL during the 2011 season with the VooDoo after making three stops in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and Cincinnati Bengals. Instantly becoming a fan favorite in his first game versus the Jacksonville Sharks, Green had one of the more prolific first game performances in VooDoo history with 221 all-purpose yards and five total touchdowns.
The local product finished the 2011 season as the team's third leading receiver with 50 receptions for 622 yards and 14 receiving touchdowns while playing in only seven games. He led the team in yards per game (88.9), and ranked second in yards per kickoff (17.1) behind Ironman of the Year and All-Arena First Team return specialist P.J. Berry. In 2012, this fan favorite collected five receptions for 84 yards and one touchdown in for games for the VooDoo.
Green was a standout at LSU, being honored twice by the AP for All-American honors while leading the Tigers to a National Championship in 2003. He was also a three-time All-SEC selection.
Green prepped at L.W. Higgins High School (Marrero, La.) where he rushed for 2,174 yards as a senior from the quarterback position.
