Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love reveals what he loves the most about Matthew Golden
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love reveals what he loves the most about Matthew Golden Jordan Love gives glowing review of Matthew Golden After being selected by the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, expectations are high for Matthew Golden. The former Longhorn is expected to be a key piece of the Packers passing attack. So far, he has made a good first impression with his new team. In his only season with Texas, Golden was one of the best wide receivers in the SEC. While catching passes from Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, he added 987 receiving yards and nine touchdowns to his resume. He also averaged 61.7 yards per game. Due to his speed, Golden was hard to stop and saw his stock rise heading into the draft. During his first few months with the Packers, Golden has shown the traits that made him successful with the Longhorns. They have stood out to his new quarterback, Jordan Love, so far in minicamp as he gets more comfortable with his newest weapon. "He's been looking good," Love said. "I think from the get go, from Day 1 when he got here, he's showcased just the versatility he has running routes, the speed he has, and his ability to catch." At the moment, Golden is focused on learning a new offense before the start of the new season. That is something that rookies are doing league-wide. However, Golden seems more comfortable every day, which Love has noticed. "I think for him, every day he's been getting better just understanding what he needs to do," Love added. "You could tell the first couple days there might be a couple routes here and there where he just might be thinking a little bit too much out there, and not just going out there and playing fast, which is expected for some one who just got here and is learning the whole offense." While the regular season is still months away, Golden's play has stood out ahead of what could be a special rookie season.

After big 2024 season, Packers RB Josh Jacobs wants more explosive plays in 2025
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs produced a big-time statistical season and made the Pro Bowl during his first season in Green Bay, but the veteran runner wants to become truly elite in 2025 -- and he thinks reaching that goal will require more explosive, game-changing runs. After Wednesday's OTA session, Jacobs said he left some yards "on the table" in 2024, when he turned 301 carries into 1,329 yards -- the sixth-most rushing yards in the NFL. The difference between Jacobs and those ahead of him? Winning in a couple of big spots and creating more explosive runs. Advertisement "It was a few plays where I had some 1-on-1s, where if I made a person miss or broke that tackle, it was the difference between a 20-yard gain and a 60-yard gain. Those little things like that, those make people elite. So that's what I'm trying to come into the offseason and work on," Jacobs said. Jacobs has the right idea, according to the numbers -- he produced zero runs of 40 or more yards and only seven of 20 or more last season. In comparison, Saquon Barkley -- who won the rushing title with over 2,000 yards -- had 17 runs of 20 or more and seven of 40 or more. Jacobs might not have Barkley's elite breakaway speed, but making a linebacker or defensive back miss at the second level can still be the difference between a 10-yard run and a 50-yard run. Jacobs said he worked on conditioning and body callousing to ensure he's always in a position -- regardless of time in a game or week of the season -- to create a big play in a big spot. Advertisement It's possible a few upgrades along the offensive line, starting with the addition of left guard Aaron Banks, will help Jacobs accomplish his goal. According to Pro Football Focus, Jacobs gained 1,039 of his 1,329 yards after first contact, highlighting how much individual effort it took to gain consistent yards in 2024. In comparison, Barkley gained just over half of his total yards after first contact -- suggesting he had superior blocking from the Eagles offensive line. Mix good blocking with an elite talent and the numbers will follow. The Packers already have the elite rushing talent in Jacobs, but the consistency of the run blocking must improve. "If you take a good back and you give him space, that separates a lot of people," Jacobs said. Advertisement Jacobs finished the 2024 season with four runs of 30 or more yards and a long run of 38 yards. He did have 33 runs of 10 or more yards, ranking sixth overall. Challenging for the rushing crown in 2025 might require Jacobs to turn more of the 10-yard runs into 30-yard runs, and turning his 30-yard runs into the long, game-changing plays that backs such as Barkley and Derrick Henry produced last season.
