Golden posted this look from the Premiere to his official X account:
The Packers used the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 draft on Golden, the team's first first-round pick at wide receiver since 2002. The speedy former Texas star will wear No. 22, a non-traditional number for a receiver. Golden's reasoning for picking No. 22 can be found here.
The full 2025 class, including Williams, can be seen here:
Packers Wire will add additional photos posted by Golden, Williams and the Packers from the event as they become available.

Matt LaFleur: Christian Watson is progressing, but his rehab will take some time
Packers receiver Christian Watson was at the team's mandatory minicamp, going through his rehab work while his teammates practiced. Coach Matt LaFleur was asked whether seeing Watson move like he is moving could mean an earlier return for Watson. 'Probably not, to be honest,' LaFleur said, via Wendell Ferreira of AtoZ Sports. 'The guys that are available, that's who you coach, and that's kind of where you focus. It is exciting to see how far along he is. He's been doing a great job. He attacks it the right way. Our trainers have done an outstanding job with him. I think he's in the best spot possible considering the circumstance.' Watson tore an ACL in Week 18 of the 2024 season, forcing him to miss not only the playoffs but also part of the 2025 season. Watson's father, Tazim Wajid Wajed, said during the offseason that Watson is expected back around Week 12. 'He will give us a boost whenever that is,' LaFleur said. 'Whenever he comes back, I expect him to give us a boost.' Watson, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, made 29 catches for 620 yards and two touchdowns last season.

Aaron Rodgers, Mike Tomlin form unique Super Bowl partnership
The new partnership between Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers brings together two men who once squared off at the highest level of the game. In Super Bowl XLV, Rodgers and the Packers defeated Tomlin and the Steelers. Now that they're together, it's only the second time that a quarterback has joined forces with a coach whom the quarterback beat in the Super Bowl. The first time happened 32 years ago. And it involved a quarterback whom PFT Live co-host Chris Simms knows well. Very well. Extremely well. But, apparently, not well enough to know that his father, Phil, played for coach Dan Reeves in 1993 — seven years after Phil and the Giants beat Reeves and the Broncos. The video is attached. Give it a watch. If only to see Chris completely whiff on making the connection, despite the various hints he was getting.

Packers minicamp ends on long field goal, huddle breakdown from Mark Murphy
Packers minicamp ends on long field goal, huddle breakdown from Mark Murphy Minicamp for the Green Bay Packers ended with a long field goal from veteran kicker Brandon McManus and a fitting send off for team president and CEO Mark Murphy on Thursday in Green Bay. Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN, coach Matt LaFleur allowed practice to end early after McManus connected on a 58-yard field goal, and he then invited Murphy -- the team's president for the last 17 years -- to break the huddle one final time. Murphy's break down: 1, 2, 3... Super Bowl. LaFleur's team worked during all three days of the mandatory minicamp running Tuesday through Thursday. The Packers will now be off until training camp opens with a practice on Wednesday, July 23. Murphy, who reaches the mandatory retirement age of 70 in July, will be replaced by Ed Policy during the annual shareholder's meeting on July 25. The Packers had the third-most wins in the NFL and won Super Bowl XLV during Murphy's tenure. Here's video of Murphy's breakdown from Wes Hodkiewicz of The Packers offseason workout program is completed. Next up: training camp in July.
