Packers QB Jordan Love excited to work with 'stud' WR Matthew Golden: 'The speed speaks for itself'
Our Summary
The Green Bay Packers made a surprising move in the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting wide receiver Matthew Golden with their first-round pick, ending a 23-year drought without choosing a receiver in the first round. Golden, known for his impressive speed, brings a strong track record from college with 134 receptions, 1,975 yards, and 22 touchdowns. Quarterback Jordan Love is enthusiastic about Golden's potential, especially with Christian Watson recovering from an ACL injury and the team's need to address their high drop rate. Besides Golden, the Packers focused on offense by drafting offensive lineman Anthony Belton and wide receiver Savion Williams in subsequent rounds. The reshuffling of the Packers' receiving corps aims to revitalize a stagnating offense.
