The Green Bay Packers fans have plenty to be excited about as their receiving corps shapes up to provide quarterback Jordan Love with an explosive array of weapons.
This offseason brought significant news when they picked a wide receiver in the first round, selecting Golden with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Golden joins an already promising young core that has the coaching staff buzzing.
Head coach Matt LaFleur shared his enthusiasm about what he sees developing, emphasizing that it goes beyond raw talent.
“I do think we have a very, very competitive receiver room. I think it’s as deep as anybody in the league, and I love how our guys go out there and compete and push each other,” LaFleur said on “Up & Adams.”

What stands out to LaFleur isn’t merely the potential of his receivers but their collaborative spirit.
Even as newcomers Golden and Savion Williams enter the mix, veterans have embraced them fully, offering guidance and support on the field rather than viewing them as threats.
LaFleur witnessed this firsthand during a practice session when he prepared to correct Golden on a technique.
Before the coach could step in, he noticed Romeo Doubs already providing instruction to the young receiver.
These moments of player leadership carry significant weight for a team that has been the youngest in the NFL for two consecutive seasons.
LaFleur places tremendous value on cultivating a player-driven culture within the locker room.
He believes this approach is crucial not just for development but especially during high-pressure moments in games, when leadership must emerge from within the player ranks rather than solely from the coaching staff.
