The Green Bay Packers used the No. 23 pick overall of the 2025 NFL Draft on Texas Longhorns wide receiver Matthew Golden. It makes the first time since 2002 that Green Bay picked a wideout in the first round of a draft. On Friday, general manager Brian Gutenkunst shared an eye-opening take about the team's newest player.

After Day 1 of the NFL Draft, the Packers' general manager revealed that he and the organization believe that Golden's best football is ahead of him, according to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Gutekunst fully believes that the former Texas wideout has plenty of room to grow and become an emerging star in Green Bay.
