D’Tanyian Jacquez Green (born January 15, 1976 in Fort Valley, Georgia) is a former American football player who was officially listed as a wide receiver, but was also a prolific punt returner for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Washington Redskins and the Detroit Lions. He retired following the 2002 season. Green's most productive seasons as a wide receiver was in 1999, when he caught 56 passes for 791 yards with three touchdowns (only 10 starts), and 2000, when he had 51 receptions for 773 yards. He ended his NFL career starting 37 of the 66 games he played, registering 162 receptions for 2,311 yards and 7 touchdowns. Green was a second round draft choice (34th choice overall) of the Buccaneers in the 1998 NFL Draft. Prior to the 2002 season, he signed as a free agent with the Washington Redskins and re-united with former Florida Gators and Buccaneer teammate Reidel Anthony. He was released and signed by the Detroit Lions. Prior to the 2003 season, he signed with his former team, the Buccaneers, but retired.

He was a three-year letterman at the University of Florida and member of the 1996 National Championship team, where he had 7 catches for 79 yards in the championship game. Green was a first-team All-America selection by the Associated Press and the Walter Camp Football Foundation in 1997 and was one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award (with Randy Moss and Troy Edwards). The consensus All-SEC choice caught 61 passes for 1,024 yards and nine touchdowns that junior season before entering the NFL draft. In 1997 against Auburn, he scored a rare triple — throwing a touchdown pass, catching one and running for one. He may best be remembered for a long reception from quarterback Doug Johnson very late in the 1997 Florida - Florida State game that propelled the underdog Gators over the Seminoles.

Also an avid video game player, Green once won the annual Madden Bowl in back-to-back seasons.

Green was also known as one of the fastest players of all time and won several speed challenges at post-season competitions. He is now the offensive coordinator for Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, Florida.
