Green Bay Packers fans have every reason for excitement when it comes to receiver Matthew Golden. The franchise hopes the speedy receiver is the number one option Jordan Love has so badly needed for the past two seasons. While the Packers have talent at receiver, they lack of clear number one option who is going to demand the ball when the game is on the line. The hope is that Golden can be this option.
Things are off to a great start for the receiver with Golden noting he and fellow rookie Savion Williams had already been fishing in Green Bay. The rookie continued talking about the duo going to the flea market and how impressive the Packer fan base has been. Speaking about getting recognized due to the small football community that is Green Bay. It is a great sign that the Texas alum is already working with his fellow rookie receiver.
Matthew Golden and Savion Williams are Already Working on Bonding This Offseason
Williams might be considered for a lesser addition; however, the rookie receiver is still likely to play a role in the Green Bay offense. The third-round pick's 6-foot-four frame will offer Love a target capable of winning contested matchups. For a team without overwhelming size at the position, it is a valuable addition to the unit.
For Golden, the expectations are sky high for a rookie whose speed and route-running ability could help Love find needed consistency. The receiver is already working within the Green Bay community and making an effort to bond with teammates long before the regular season is a great sign for the franchise.
There isn't any question that the road for the Packers is incredibly difficult. Competing in what appears to be the best division in football demands that every player work to be at their absolute best. Seeing Golden already in the community setting the tone is a great start for an exciting Packers team.
Perhaps it signals things to come for the receiver and the organization, taking a needed step forward. Regardless, it is the exact type of message and efforts you want to see from your newest headline addition.
