Packers’ first-round draft pick Matthew Golden is mostly staying in place at the line of scrimmage during the early days of camp. That could change.

Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia has started calling Golden “Bullet,” a nod to Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist Bob Hayes. Golden, who also wears No. 22 like Hayes did with the Cowboys, embraced the comparison after looking up Hayes’ legendary speed and dual-sport success.

Packers rookie WR Matthew Golden wasted no time finding the end zone, catching a TD pass at his first training camp practice.

The Green Bay Packers have lost one of their prized rookie draft picks to a new injury in the first week of 2025 NFL training camp.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brandon McManus let out an audible grunt after a 51-yard field-goal attempt came off his foot during Friday’s practice. From the sideline, it looked as if the ball was drifting wide right, especially since McManus’ tone indicated so. Alas, it drilled the net behind the field-goal posts with plenty of distance to spare.

On Thursday, starter Jordan Love deftly moved around the pocket to avoid a pair of converging pass-rushers and zinged a ball across the middle that Golden snagged between two defenders. The play typified everything the Packers liked about him — his unique speed and quickness, his smooth route-running, his excellent hands.

The Packers modernized their locker room during the offseason, and coach Matt LaFleur doesn't want the bells and whistles to go to players' heads.
