No NFL Draft leaflet experienced the first round as the Open Texas Matthew Golden receiver.
The Texas Longhorns product was among those in the Green Room behind the Lambeau Field stage last week, patiently waiting for his name called by his next team. Golden waited a lot at night, but the host team did something they had not done since 2002.

The president of the Packers, Mark Murphy, had the faithful of Green Bay in a frenzy when Golden announced as the first open receiver taken by the franchise in more than two decades, and their reception when he left the Green Room with the Packers hat and holding his shirt still does not feel real.
“I still don’t think it’s real, that’s the crazy one,” Digital’s Pak Gazette told Fox, while he also discussed his time in the Draft with Tide. “As I said, I have been waiting to be called my name since I was six years old, and the way it happened that was in Green Bay, so that it was the first receiver since 2002, it meant even more for me.
“A lot of history behind this, and as it happened, I feel that God made it happen for a reason. That is something that will remain with me forever.”

Golden had Packers fans singing with him before leaving the stage, since the love for his new hiding place was in full exhibition.
However, Packers fans also expect a lot from him due to history. If being a first round it was not enough pressure, reaching a team with a fans desperate for its next superior receiver could be.
Golden, however, does not seem to feel that pressure.

“There is definitely no pressure, but I definitely know that I have to enter, I have to compete and have to contribute to this team,” he explained. “That is something I get in me, that is the mentality I have.
It is an open receiver room in Green Bay, with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, among others. All of them have had their names called in one way or another in 2024, but none of them appeared for Jordan Love as a true superior receiver.
That is not always bad, but Packers fans would like their open -type driver -type receiver of Donald Adams, Jordy Nelson, who can overcome the rest. It remains to be seen if that is golden, but a first round selection has that type of weight.
Golden said that he has already talked to Watson and Reed and that he could not be more excited to leave his mark on the Packers, in any role that may be.

“They told me that they were happy to have me here, and it’s time to work,” Golden said about his conversations with Watson and Reed. “Then, just enter and play with types like this, it will be incredible. Many weapons, so I am ready to enter and contribute to the game with them and continue fun.”
What Golden immediately brings to the offensive of the Packers is more speed, with a 40 -yard board of less than 4.30. But he is more than a single trick pony in the pass game.
“My route running. I can run any route tree in the book, inside and out,” he said. “Wherever it is, I can also align in the backfield field. Just understand the game so well where I can create separation without running at full speed. I understand very well, many people think I don’t run quickly in the field, but I don’t have to run quickly to open myself.
“I know that I come here to this organization, they will definitely help me a lot with other tools that can help my game. I am happy to be here, I am happy to be trained by them and I am ready to go to work.”

Golden is happy and excited about where his NFL trip will begin, and felt that strong sense of community when he participated in the “washing day games” with Tide, along with the former NFL Linker Anthony “Spice” Adams.
“It was great,” Golden said about his work with Tide. “Being with Spice, definitely a fun guy to be close. We played many games, so it was a great experience for me. I always wanted to be in a commercial video with Tide, and for that it really happened it was really surprising to me.”
