Golden says his status as a rare first-round WR pick for Packers doesn’t create extra pressure
Matthew Golden says he doesn’t feel any extra pressure associated with his status as the first wide receiver drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the opening round in over two decades.
The Washington Commanders appeared to give the Green Bay Packers 15 extra yards. A flag was thrown initially, too, when Percy Butler brought down Matthew Golden a second time on an early punt return. But then the officials picked up the flag. There was no penalty.
