After buying a house for his grandmother, Matthew Golden buys a home in Green Bay, reaffirming his long-term commitment to Packer

Green Bay, October 14, 2025

Matthew Golden, the Green Bay Packers’ first-round wide receiver, is making waves in his initial six games of the 2025 season. With 9 catches, 112 yards, and 2 touchdowns, he tops the Packers’ rookie WRs in receiving yards despite logging only 180 snaps (42% of total offensive snaps). His highlight 45-yard catch and touchdown in the Week 6 24-18 triumph over the Bengals showcase his blistering 4.36-second 40-yard dash speed, propelling the Packers to a 3-1-1 standing atop the NFC.

Golden’s dedication to the team shines through his ambitions, as he expressed with enthusiasm: “I’ve always wanted to leave my mark here. I love the Packers for the chance they’ve given me, and my goal is to team up with Jordan Love as a powerhouse duo to secure championships. I’m committed to this team for the long haul; this is where I belong.” His words reflect a deep bond with Green Bay, hinting at a future rooted in the franchise.

The journey of Golden’s rise began with his draft selection, and his on-field contributions have solidified his place. Amid injuries to Jayden Reed (IR, collarbone) and Christian Watson (PUP), he’s emerged as a vital target, complementing Romeo Doubs (13 catches, 179 yards, 4 TDs) in the WR1 role. His versatility and speed have injected new life into the offense, earning trust from coaches and teammates alike.

This commitment extends beyond the field, as Golden’s personal goals align with his professional ones. With his $10 million rookie deal, he plans to invest in his future by purchasing a home in Green Bay after the season concludes. The custom-designed house, featuring a wide porch and a study echoing his childhood, will symbolize his resolve to thrive alongside Love and cement his legacy with the Packers.

As the Packers lead the NFC North, Golden’s story galvanizes Packers Nation. His gridiron heroics and off-field vision affirm his role as a lasting pillar of the “Green and Gold.
