James had career highs with 52 catches for 926 yards and 2 scores. He signed to play with the Dolphins in 2001 and grabbed 55 passes his first season in Miami. James signed to play with the Giants after the 2003 season. James has caught 222 passes for 3,595 yards and 18 touchdowns over his 10 year career. The 1990 first round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green was the 1990 AFC Rookie of the Year and was selected to the 1993 and 1994 NFL Pro Bowls. Green, who also played for the Dolphins, Ravens and Jets, played in the NFL from 1990-2000. Once his playing days ended, Green joined the front office of the XFL's Orlando Rage in 2000, serving as a scout and assisting in the Rage's draft process. Over his career, Green played in 120 games and caught 362 passes for 4,390 yards and 36 touchdowns.

Green is familiar to long-time UCF fans from his playing days at Liberty. He caught seven passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns against the Knights in the Citrus Bowl in 1989. In 2002, Green served as the tight ends coach and assisted with the offensive line of the Frankfurt Galaxy during preseason. He later joined the Minnesota Vikings as an intern in 2002, through the NFL Minority Fellowship Program and helped coach the tight ends. He continued to work with the Vikings through the 2003 season before coming to Orlando with Coach O'Leary.
