ESPN Fantasy Projection: Golden was selected by Green Bay in the first round of April's draft. He impressed at the combine with a 4.29 40-yard dash and 1.49 10-yard split (both best among WRs). He's a bit on the small side and his 1.86 YPRR across 36 collegiate games isn't very good, but he did make a big leap in 2024 (his lone year at Texas), posting a 58-987-9 receiving line. He can work all over the formation and is a plus kick returner. With Christian Watson (ACL) likely to miss a big chunk of the season and Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed as his primary competition for work, Golden has a good chance to operate as Jordan Love's top target in 2025. The speedster should be viewed as a WR3 with obvious upside.
