Matthew Golden didn’t treat his first NFL contract like a finish line. For him, it was a responsibility he had been carrying long before draft night.
When the Green Bay Packers made Golden a first-round pick, the money arrived quickly. So did the decision. His first major purchase was not a car or a watch. It was a home for his grandmother, the same person who helped raise him during years when stability wasn’t guaranteed.
Golden signed a four-year, fully guaranteed rookie deal worth $17.5 million, including a signing bonus of roughly $9.4 million. Asked what mattered most, he didn’t hesitate.
“Definitely get my grandma a house,” Golden said. “We lost our property a couple years ago, and it would be a blessing to be able to get that back for my family.”
That property had been the center of his childhood. Losing it meant more than relocating. It meant losing security at an age when he didn’t fully understand why it was happening.
“It was hard just growing up, the times I was without a home,” Golden said. “Being a young kid, not really understanding why we were in that situation. I always look back at that. That’s what keeps me going.”
Golden initially hoped to restore the old family home, but the damage was too extensive. Instead, he partnered with REMAX to find a new place that met his grandmother’s needs. He surprised her with the keys himself. No cameras were chasing the moment. Just a quiet exchange that meant everything to both of them.
REMAX later gifted her a custom illustration of the original house, a way to preserve what had been lost while moving forward. Before Golden ever made a highlight catch in the NFL, he delivered on something personal. It set the tone for how he approaches the rest.

Golden’s rookie year has reflected the same calm approach. Through the 2025 regular season, Golden appeared in 13 games for Green Bay. He finished with 28 receptions on 41 targets for 353 yards, averaging 12.6 yards per catch. He added 49 rushing yards on 10 carries, often used on motion plays and quick-hitting concepts designed to stress defenses horizontally.
His most productive outing came in Week 6 against Cincinnati, where he caught three passes for 86 yards, including a 35-yard gain that flipped field position. Earlier in the year, he posted 52 yards against Cleveland and followed it with 58 yards in Dallas, showing comfort on deeper routes and boundary throws.
Golden’s longest reception this season went for 46 yards. Most of his targets have come on timing routes, crossers, and play-action shots, not manufactured touches.
The WR turned 22 this season. He’s learning the league while handling real expectations, something Green Bay hasn’t asked of a rookie wide receiver in over two decades.

Matthew Golden’s limited role late in the season has sparked outside questions, but inside the Packers’ building, there’s no confusion about what’s happening or why.
That perspective became clear this week when offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich addressed Golden’s long-term place in the offense. Rather than sidestepping the topic, Stenavich framed it in terms of timing and depth, rather than ability.
He said, “I think Golden’s got a really bright future. He’s very talented and his time will come, but I think, right now, with the room the way it is, he’s not gonna be in that premier role when the playoffs come around.”
The quote didn’t signal hesitation. Instead, it explained the current reality.
As the Packers push toward the postseason, they’re leaning on experience. Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Jayden Reed are healthy again, and those are the receivers Green Bay has relied on throughout the year. When that group is intact, roles naturally become more defined. Because of that, Golden’s opportunities have shifted.
Earlier in the season, injuries reshaped the depth chart. Watson was still rehabbing his ACL, and Reed missed extended time with a broken collarbone. During that stretch, Golden handled snaps both outside and in the slot. Once the room stabilized, his role narrowed accordingly.

Even with a limited role, Golden has remained part of the weekly rotation. His snap counts reflect involvement, even when the stat line does not.
Off the line, Golden was in for 24 offensive plays against Baltimore. Not far behind Watson, who saw 26, and a step ahead of Doubs at 25, while edging past Reed’s 22. One reception ended up in his hands. Still, he stayed visible each quarter, moving through routes without vanishing.
That usage also reflected the circumstances. Dontayvion Wicks exited early with a concussion after just three snaps, pushing Golden into a steadier role for the remainder of the contest. The Packers didn’t hesitate to keep him involved.
More broadly, this approach aligns with how Green Bay has handled young players for years. Since 2005, first-round picks in Green Bay have averaged six stars as rookies. Golden currently sits at four and is positioned to add another with veterans likely resting in Week 18. Several long-term starters followed similar paths early in their careers. That historical context matters when projecting what comes next.
The Packers draft with roster cycles in mind, not immediate production. Romeo Doubs is set to reach free agency first. Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks enter contract years in 2026. Golden was drafted, knowing the receiver room wouldn’t remain this crowded forever. For now, his role aligns with the current depth chart. Stenavich’s comments reflected the same understanding.
The talent is acknowledged. The opportunity is coming. The timeline, as always in Green Bay, is intentional.

Romeo Doubs isn’t dressing it up. He’s just playing football, and he’s doing it in his own style. In Week 9, as the Packers rolled out their 1923 throwback uniforms, Doubs stood out for a different reason. Wearing his Guardian Cap styled to match the vintage leather helmet look, the Green Bay wide receiver backed it up with one of his strongest performances of the season.
Falling into rhythm early, Doubs hauled in seven passes from ten chances, totaling ninety-one yards versus Carolina. The quarterback looked his way more than anyone else, and production followed just as often. Moving through zones the defense left open, he stayed involved when points were hard to find. Green Bay leaned on him repeatedly, each catch building small advantages that mattered by game's end.
The Guardian Cap has been part of Doubs’ routine since returning from a concussion earlier in the season. The choice was never about attention. It was about protection and availability. Against the Panthers, it allowed him to play confidently and aggressively without changing his style.
On some days, players adjust when safety becomes a priority. Doubs didn’t. His routes stayed crisp. His hands stayed strong. He attacked the middle of the field and absorbed contact without hesitation. That approach feels familiar. Doubs has never played the game looking for shortcuts. He handles what’s in front of him and keeps moving. This isn’t about equipment. It’s about mindset.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (87) leaves the field after getting injured on a pass interference play commited by San Francisco 49ers cornerback Renardo Green (0) in the third quarter during their football game Sunday, November 24, 2024, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Doubs’ Week 9 output fit right into the bigger picture. Through eight games, he had already totaled 34 receptions for 441 yards and four touchdowns, quietly establishing himself as a dependable piece of the Packers’ offense. Against the Panthers, the star WR showed why the coaching staff relies on him. He won on intermediate routes, fought through coverage, and delivered consistent gains instead of chasing big plays.
Guardian Caps are still uncommon during regular-season games, but Doubs has shown they don’t come at the expense of performance. His role remained intact. His confidence never dipped. His production spoke for itself.
The throwback uniforms honored the past. Doubs’ performance reflected the present. Wise choices, steady execution, and the same competitive edge.

Brett Favre isn’t dressing it up. Instead, he’s dealing with Parkinson’s, and he’s facing it the same way he always talked about football.
Favre said he’s in the early stages of the disease and that it’s forced him to learn a lot more than he ever expected. Parkinson’s doesn’t look the same for everyone. In a recent podcast, he shared his life after being diagnosed with Parkinson's. For him, stiffness has been the main issue.
“As I’ve learned, the Parkinson’s that I have has three different characteristics,” Favre said, explaining that cognitive issues, tremors, and rigidity all show up differently depending on the person. “I major in rigidity and stiffness.”
Some days, the tremors are noticeable, especially once exhaustion sets in, often by evening. When the medicine starts working, movement becomes easier and less stiff. Not everything gets better; only some things become possible.
Favre didn’t pretend there’s an easy answer coming. He said he hears the same talk everyone does about cures being a few years away. He hopes it’s true. But he’s realistic. “I’m not holding my breath.”
That tone feels familiar. Favre never played the game looking for comfort. He dealt with what was in front of him and kept moving. This isn’t football, but the approach is the same.

Favre’s career doesn’t need much explaining. He won three straight MVP awards from 1995 to 1997. No quarterback has done that since. He led the Packers back into relevance, took them to two Super Bowls, and won Super Bowl XXXI. He made 11 Pro Bowls and started 299 consecutive games, a record that still stands. By the time he left Green Bay, he had passed Dan Marino on the all-time passing lists.
The star stepped into the Pro Football Hall of Fame back in 2016. His chapter there has closed, yet people still feel his presence. These days, it’s not numbers or awards that matter most. Instead, it’s being here and facing whatever comes, each morning at a time.

Whenever the all-time safety debate comes up, the same few names take over the room, such as Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed, and Troy Polamalu. Those guys had signature styles that stood out on the screen. But LeRoy Butler never really needed one. What he had was something coaches love, and opponents hate. He did everything right, every week, for a long time.
The vet spent all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers and quietly became the backbone of their defense in the 1990s. He finished his career with 38 interceptions, 20.5 sacks, and more than 500 interception return yards. Those numbers matter because they show range.
One thing stands out: in 11 out of 12 years, he grabbed at least a single interception each season. This level of steady performance isn’t a matter of random luck. Behind it lie hours of prep work, studying game footage, plus an instinct for reading quarterbacks before they even throw.

Pro Football Hall of Famer LeRoy Butler shares his Draft Day story during a stop on the Business of the NFL Draft Tour in Neenah, Wis. on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024. Representatives from the Packers, Travel Wisconsin, Discover Green Bay, New North, and PMI are on a two-day tour around the state to promote the draft and share ideas with businesses and organizations on how to prepare for the influx of visitors that will be visiting Wisconsin and Green Bay in April 2025.
Comparing Butler to the greats depends on what you are looking for. Ronnie Lott was more violent. Ed Reed took more chances. Polamalu played on instinct and chaos. Butler was the opposite of chaos. He was controlled, disciplined, and dependable.
Stat for stat, Butler holds his own. Few safeties can say they finished with both 30-plus interceptions and over 20 sacks. What stands out is how he blended skills beyond mere pass defense. Over five seasons, the most picks on Green Bay’s roster belonged to him: proof of more than consistency. He was often their top playmaker in the secondary.
Coaches trusted him, and that matters. Butler started at strong safety in three straight NFC Championship Games and played in the playoffs. Green Bay did not regain relevance in the 1990s without him anchoring that defense.

Respect for Butler stretched far beyond Green Bay. Four Pro Bowls came his way, along with four All-Pro nods, plus a place on the NFL’s 1990s All-Decade Team. This wasn’t local hype; it was national recognition. A Super Bowl win helped seal it. Then there’s the Lambeau Leap, something he started himself. Legacy? It only grows when you remember those details.
Who tops the list of legendary safeties? LeRoy Butler might not grab headlines like others, yet his smarts, adaptability, and knack for clutch play put him near the peak. Build a defense around reliability snap after snap, and his name stands shoulder to shoulder with the icons.

Rashan Gary has become the main pillar of the Packers’ defense. At 27, he’s in the prime of his football journey. Most importantly, he is playing with the kind of energy that creates a colossal impact. Here’s why he can create an impact on Green Bay's defense.

Wm. Glasheen USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin
Gary doesn’t just rush the passer; he changes the showdown when he’s on the gridiron. People still talk about what he did last year. Back then, topping the Packers’ chart, he fired off 49 pressures, slammed the quarterback 14 times, and took him down 7.5 times. When the sack isn’t there, his presence bends plays wrong: off balance, and that opens lanes for others on defense to shut things fast.
The Packers ended 2024 sixth in the NFL against the run, allowing just under 100 yards per game. Gary is a big reason why. He sets the edge, keeps running backs from bouncing outside, and forces plays back inside. That kind of energy makes the crew’s front seven much more challenging to defeat.
When veteran Preston Smith was traded midseason, Gary stepped up to the plate. He’s the guy younger defensive ends look to, setting the tone in practice and on game day. With nearly 90 career games, he brings the kind of experience and leadership that can’t be taught.
Back from an ACL injury in 2022, Gary hasn’t missed a single game since. His consistency stands out. Because he stays on the field week after week, Green Bay shapes its defense, trusting he’ll be there, ready when needed.
Gary already made the Pro Bowl, but he hasn’t fully reached his ceiling. With another season in Jeff Hafley’s system, fully healthy and in his prime, he could take the Packers’ pass rush to elite levels. If that happens, the defense becomes much more dangerous in the playoffs.
Week after week, Rashan Gary shows up. The Packers' defense leans on him heavily. Quarterbacks feel his pressure constantly. Stopping the run? That begins with his presence, too. His team relies on him when things get messy. Leadership flows from what he does daily. Progress this year hinges on his impact. Without question, everything moves through him.

Rashan Gary’s name still pops up in “bust” conversations from time to time, and for many fans, it doesn’t make much sense anymore. The label mainly stems from old expectations and early-career frustration, rather than what Gary is doing right now on the field.
Picked twelfth in 2019, Gary arrived with sky-high hopes. Right away, when the stats didn’t match that pick, criticism arose. Hurt by injuries, mixed into the rotation piece by piece, progress felt delayed. Still, off-court work continued to deepen each season.
By 2025, that story won't hold up. What stands out now is how Gary’s game has sharpened, as evidenced by match after match where he moves with purpose. Words on a screen never weighed as much as what he shows when the whistle blows.

Gary’s impact was on full display in prime time against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Facing Aaron Rodgers on the road, he recorded two sacks, accounting for two of the Packers’ three total sacks in a 35–25 win. Both sacks killed drives, and both came with a bit of extra energy afterward.
His celebrations caught attention almost instantly. First came Rodgers’ old title-belt celebration, followed later by the viral “6-7” gesture that has been trending online this year. The internet noticed. So did NBC’s broadcast crew. Even the NFL acknowledged it on social media.
Beyond the celebrations, the numbers tell the real story. Through seven games in 2025, Gary has 7 1⁄2 sacks, already matching his total from last season and sitting just two sacks shy of his career high from 2021. He’s also posted 24 total tackles, one forced fumble, and 4½ tackles for loss. Those are not empty stats. They reflect consistent pressure and real disruption.
Even in games where the defense hasn’t closed strong, Gary’s presence still shows up. Week 16 versus the Bears saw Green Bay create 22 pressures overall. Eight of those came from Gary and Van Ness working separately. Though no sacks were recorded, plays by Gary disrupted timing. Throwing under duress led to errors by Chicago’s offense.
This is where the “bust” talk loses steam. Gary isn’t a player living off flashes or hype. He’s a steady pass rusher who draws attention, collapses pockets, and changes game flow. His growth since returning from a torn ACL has only reinforced that point.
Labels from years ago don’t line up with what’s happening now. Rashan Gary isn’t fighting to justify his draft position anymore. He’s simply playing like one of the Packers’ most essential defenders, week after week.

Some moments never fade at Lambeau Field. They stay stitched into the cold air, the concrete, and the shared memory of Green Bay. LeRoy Butler’s Lambeau Leap is one of them.
Long before the celebration became a league-wide tradition, it belonged to Butler. On December 6, 1993, after a pick-six against the Raiders, Butler jumped into the stands. It was spontaneous. It was unscripted. It was pure Lambeau. That leap did more than celebrate a touchdown. It created a bond between players and fans that still defines the Packers' identity decades later.
Nearly 30 years on, Butler’s name sits permanently on the Lambeau Field facade. The leap he invented remains part of every home game. And for the Packers community, that connection still feels personal.

Class of 2022 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinee LeRoy Butler answers a question during the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinees' Roundtable held at the Canton Civic Center Sunday, August 7, 2022.
Butler never played for headlines. He played for the team. That mindset carried into the moment that made him famous.
At the time, Butler stood out as one of the game's sharpest defensive minds. Wrapping up his run, he became the only safety in NFL history to have 20 sacks alongside 35 picks. Four Pro Bowl nods came his way. So did four All-Pro honors. Still, what mattered most couldn’t be tracked on a stat sheet. The Lambeau Leap reflected how Butler played. With joy. With pride. With the fans in mind.
During his Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2022, Butler delivered precisely what the Packers community had hoped for. One more leap. A quiet nod, not meant to draw eyes - just gratitude shaped into motion. He insisted the spotlight rest elsewhere: on those who’d shown up, year after year, beside him in the grind.
That humility is why the leap still matters. It was never about a celebration. It was about inclusion. Fans were no longer just watching history. They were part of it.
Even today, when Packers players leap into the stands, they are stepping into something Butler built. A shared ritual. A shared identity. A reminder that football in Green Bay has always been about community first.

Brett Favre never needed style points to make history. On this date, his past performance continues to receive the spotlight. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback became the first NFL player to throw for more than 30 touchdown passes in five different seasons, reaching a benchmark that reflected longevity, trust, and relentless confidence rather than a single hot year.
Favre hit the milestone in a 30–22 victory against the Tennessee Oilers, tossing three TDs before halftime - all caught by Antonio Freeman. That surge moved him ahead of Dan Marino, leaving him solo at the top of a ranking once ruled by legends. It just showed again - Favre didn't rise through flashiness; it was steady doing, over time.
He did not chase efficiency. But he chased control of the game.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre gets ready to unleash the record touchdown pass during the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings game at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn., on Sunday, Sept. 30, 2007. Favre threw his 421st touchdown early in the game, breaking an NFL record. He threw another touchdown pass later in the game.
Es Packers Vs Vikings 09 30 07
Throwing 30 touchdowns once can come from a perfect system or favorable matchups. Doing it five times requires availability and authority. Favre had both.
Between 1995 and 1998, Favre consistently powered Green Bay’s offense, leading the league in touchdown passes twice and passing yards four times across his career. He started every game, absorbed contact, and never adjusted his approach to protect numbers. Defenses knew he would attack anyway.
That mindset lifted everyone around him. Antonio Freeman enjoyed his best seasons catching passes from Favre. Role players stayed relevant because Favre trusted timing over separation. Green Bay’s offense stayed aggressive late in games because the quarterback never flinched.
Durability made the difference. Favre’s 297 consecutive regular-season starts gave the Packers rare continuity. The playbook stayed open. The locker room stayed steady. His presence removed uncertainty, week after week, season after season.
The milestone also came in a tougher era for passers. Defensive contact rules were stricter. Hits were heavier. Favre still played through injuries and weather that discouraged risk. That context matters when measuring five separate 30-touchdown seasons.
Favre hung up his cleats with 508 TD throws, over 71k yards through the air, three back-to-back MVP trophies, yet also a Super Bowl win. Well before big numbers became common across the NFL, his play redrew what it meant to last long and throw often from the QB spot.
This record was not a flash of brilliance. It was proof of a playing style that never backed down and never disappeared.

Matthew Golden’s rookie season has been uneven, but the timing of his turnaround could not be better for the Green Bay Packers. Drafted in the first round to bring speed and explosiveness to Matt LaFleur’s offense, Golden instead spent much of the fall fighting through injuries and limited snaps. Now, with the Packers entering a critical divisional stretch, the rookie wideout says he finally feels like himself again.
Golden recently said he is in a better mental and physical state. He said, “So, now that I am in a better spot, just mentally and physically—I'm just in a better place, being able to go out there and play football, just have fun.”
This shift indicates that the tension from recent weeks has begun to subside. Back then, he sat out due to a shoulder problem he had picked up during the Carolina game, followed by another setback - a wrist injury - that kept him off the field longer. Although he did return briefly, they didn't utilize him much, using him in only 24 plays over two outings before last weekend.
That changed in Denver. Golden played 23 snaps, caught three passes for 55 yards, and drew a key 25-yard defensive pass interference penalty. The numbers were not flashy, but their impact was evident in moments. He stretched the field, created space underneath, and gave Jordan Love a target defenses had to respect. Most importantly, he finished the game healthy.
The Packers need that version of Golden now. Green Bay’s hanging close to first in the NFC North - every game shifts things now. Watson was, maybe, this week, Wicks too, but both likely suited up. Reed's still doing most of the heavy lifting on offense; it doesn't matter much unless backups show up healthy. Golden’s return gives the offense another option that defenses must account for.
Jordan Love has already said the team has not gotten Golden involved enough. That admission matters. Quarterbacks often push for receivers they trust, and Love’s comments suggest Golden’s role could grow quickly. For a rookie on a team built around timing and spacing, opportunity can change everything.
Golden’s rookie contract also factors into the bigger picture. With future decisions looming across the receiver room, his development carries weight beyond this season. Green Bay invested heavily in him on draft night. Getting returns late in the year would validate that patience.

Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Matthew Golden talks during a donation ceremony Dec. 9 at Paul's Pantry in Green Bay, Wis. Packers sponsor Sargento donates $2,000 for every touchdown Green Bay scores during the season.
Golden’s skill set fills a clear need. He can win outside, threaten vertically, and draw coverage away from the middle of the field. That opens lanes for Reed, the tight ends, and the run game. Even when not targeted, his presence alters defensive calls.
He also brings energy to a young locker room. Teammates and coaches have praised how he handled setbacks, staying engaged despite limited snaps. That matters during a playoff push, when confidence and availability often determine the outcome of games.
Golden does not claim to be finished. He says his recent showing was only the baseline. With the Bears up next and the division at stake, the Packers finally get to see what a healthy Matthew Golden can add when it matters most.
