Matthew Golden got a hero's welcome to the Green Bay Packers.
The biggest ovation from the first night of the NFL draft at Lambeau Field came, unsurprisingly, when the Green Bay Packers made their pick. After a rendition of the "Beer Barrel Polka" the Packers pick was announced. And with the 23rd overall pick the Packers had some fun, taking speedy Texas receiver Matthew Golden.
Packers president Mark Murphy, who announced the pick, made the Packers fans wait a bit by talking about the atmosphere at the draft and the history of the franchise. Then he announced the pick and the Packers fans, which stretched as far as could be seen on the telecast, erupted in cheers.
