Green Bay Packers’ first-round pick Matthew Golden took to X to remind the league of the 22 teams that overlooked him in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The succinct caption of his post—“22 of em.”—paired with a quote of an earlier thread featuring him in his new No. 22 jersey, was a subtle yet powerful jab at the teams that doubted his potential.
Selected at No. 23 overall, Golden became the Packers’ first first-round wide receiver since 2002, a historic moment for a franchise eager to bolster its offensive firepower.
Golden’s journey to the Packers was marked by his blazing speed and undeniable talent, developing beautifully in his years with the Texas Longhorns under Steve Sarkisian.
