Packers WR Matthew Golden video resurfaces amid coach’s statement

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden’s short-term outlook took quite a hit recently when offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich and head coach Matt LaFleur essentially said not to expect much from the former Texas Longhorns star wideout the rest of the way.

Following the development of Golden in the pros has been a frustrating one for him and Packers fans. Selected 23rd overall in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Golden has yet to have the breakout performance many thought he’d have sooner than later. But through 17 weeks of football, Golden has only accumulated 353 receiving yards on 28 receptions and 41 targets.

Golden certainly has what it takes to be a significant contributor to Green Bay’s offense, but som factors appear to be holding him back. LaFleur said that the team’s wide receiver depth has affected opportunities for Golden.
