After a short stint with the Jets, Green resigned with the Alouettes and picked up 875 yards and ranked third in the league with 10 receiving touchdowns on 58 receptions in 2010 for the two-time defending CFL champions. He followed up his huge 2010 with an even better 2011 season catching 87 passes for 1147 yards and being selected to the CFL East Divisional All-Star team.
