With the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers selected wide receiver Matthew Golden from the University of Texas, aiming to enhance their offensive arsenal with a dynamic playmaker.

The Packers’ decision to draft Golden addresses a need for explosive playmakers to support quarterback Jordan Love. Golden’s versatility allows him to line up both outside and in the slot, providing flexibility in offensive schemes. His addition complements the existing receiving corps and is expected to open up opportunities in both the passing and running games.​
