It’s official! All eight members of the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 draft class have been given their jersey numbers. For first-round pick Matthew Golden, it’s official AGAIN, as it was previously announced he’d be wearing #81 until he switched to #22. No take-backsies. I will not write about this again.
