Former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Matthew Golden doesn't care that much about what jersey number he wears as he begins his career with the Green Bay Packers. But when it came time to pick one, the first round NFL Draft pick did put some thought into it.

Golden wore No. 2 at Texas and in hight school at Klein Cain High School in Houston. The speedy WR says he originally started wearing "2" to honor his grandmother. "My grandma, her favorite number was 2 growing up. She told she wanted me to represent that number," Golden said.
