The Packers broke with tradition by selecting wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 draft, but he entered a deep receiving corps that kept him from being a focal point of the team\u2019s offensive attack. <\/p>\n

Golden had 29 catches for 361 yards in the regular season, but provided a hint of what it might look like with him in that role by catching four passes for 84 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay\u2019s playoff loss to the Bears. The stage is set for him to get more chances for those kinds of games in 2026. <\/p>\n

Romeo Doubs left for the Patriots as a free agent and Dontayvion Wicks was traded to the Eagles, which opened up a lot of snaps for the coming season. In a Monday press conference, offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich was asked what that will mean for Golden\u2019s opportunity and production.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think all those are going to go up<\/a>,\u201d Stenavich said. \u201cI\u2019m excited about him, he\u2019s looked great so far. It\u2019s going to be a big year for him and I\u2019m excited to watch it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christian Watson and Jayden Reed are also set for prominent roles at receiver this year and the Packers will be hoping for a full return from injury for tight end Tucker Kraft, but Golden became their first first-round wideout since 2002 and the team will be looking for that bet to start really paying off this season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Packers broke with tradition by selecting wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-624973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
