Overview

• Jordan Love lauded Golden’s aggressive hands and smooth routes, declaring he’s a “stud” who could emerge as Green Bay’s WR1.
• Green Bay used its 23rd overall pick in April on Golden, marking its first first-round receiver selection since 2002.
• Golden’s 4.29-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and his 58 catches for 987 yards and nine touchdowns at Texas highlight his playmaking upside.
• Initially listed as the No. 2 receiver on the Packers’ depth chart, Golden has impressed enough to challenge veterans Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.
• The franchise hasn’t had a 900-yard receiver since Davante Adams in 2021, raising expectations that Golden will fill the long-vacant No. 1 role.
