Heading into this week, only a handful of rookies drafted in the third round this year had agreed to terms on contracts.
The other eight players taken by the Steelers in the draft all signed their rookie deals by May 25.
Green, 22, was a three-year starter at guard and center at Illinois. He is expected to compete for the starting center job with the Steelers along with veterans B.J. Finney and J.C. Hassenauer.
The Steelers will conduct their first training camp workout Thursday at UMPC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side.
