The Packers selected Golden with their first round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wide receiver Matthew Golden is already making waves with the Green Bay Packers, even before he\u2019s taken a snap. He\u2019s already broken the franchise\u2019s 23-year streak of not picking a first-round wide receiver, and now he\u2019s got his sights set even higher.<\/p>\n<p>Golden is eager to pitch in however he can to help the Packers snag another Lombardi Trophy, as he explained to KPRC 2&#8217;s Aaron Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWant to go get that trophy, man,\u201d Golden said. \u201cThat\u2019s all we talk about at practice\u2026 we\u2019re doing everything we can every day to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a healthy dose of confidence to back up his words, the Packers might find themselves leaning on Golden sooner than expected. Christian Watson, a seasoned wide receiver, is still healing from a torn ACL sustained in Week 18, and the current starting receiver trio\u2014Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks\u2014has had their ups and downs with consistency and dropped passes in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>With no standout WR1 on the team, Golden\u2019s ability to adapt could prove invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy versatility, what I can do\u2014I can play anywhere on the field,\u201d Golden said. \u201cJust doing what the team needs me to do. That\u2019s what I did at Texas, and that\u2019s what I will continue to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Golden had a standout final season with the Texas Longhorns, racking up 987 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on 58 catches, helping the team make it to the College Football Playoff. While he\u2019ll need to refine his running route as he steps up to the next level, his knack for big plays could inject much-needed energy into a Green Bay offense looking to support quarterback Jordan Love.<\/p>\n<p>That connection, Golden noted, begins with trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver time, you\u2019ve got to build and earn that trust,\u201d Golden said about working with Love. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s about going out there every day, giving my best, and letting him know I\u2019ll be right where I\u2019m supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Packers last made the Super Bowl after the 2010 season. With Golden coming to the team, there&#8217;s renewed hope that this new wave of talent might be what they need to get things moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew Golden brings a new level of versatility to the Packers\u2019 offense as Green Bay eyes another deep Super Bowl run this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27696,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[48,1228,18],"class_list":["post-27695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-bay-packers","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-matthew-golden","tag-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING : Packers\u2019 Matthew Golden bringing &#039;versatility&#039;
