Packers’ rookie Matthew Golden projected to be better WR than Davante Adams

The Green Bay Packers spoke volumes with their 2025 NFL Draft decisions — particularly with the selection of wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round.

Golden marked the first receiver the Packers took in the opening round since 2002, when they drafted Javon Walker. While Walker lasted just four seasons in Green Bay, the expectations for Golden are far greater. The hope is he’ll surpass not only Walker but even Davante Adams, the last truly dominant receiver to wear green and gold.
