One NFL executive told Mike Sando of The Athletic that he believes rookie Matthew Golden is already the best Green Bay Packers' wide receiver and the best wideout option in the draft. “Golden is awesome,” the exec told Sando. “He is their best receiver right now. I think he is really good, and he was the best receiver in the draft.”

Though his grandma's favorite number is two and he wore a No. 2 jersey at Texas, that number wasn't available since Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis wears it. Golden didn't ask Willis about wearing No. 2, and instead shifted to No. 22, a nod to both his grandma and his new team.

Golden wore the jersey with the No. 2 during his time at Texas. After being drafted, he was initially assigned No. 81 but later switched to No. 22, a less common choice for a wide receiver in the NFL.
