It didn’t take long for Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden to find the end zone at a professional practice. The team’s first-round pick — and first first-round pick at wide receiver since 2002 — caught a touchdown pass during his first training camp practice on Wednesday at Ray Nitschke Field in Green Bay.

According to Ryan Wood of PackersNews.com, Golden beat third-year cornerback Carrington Valentine on a slant and caught a throw from backup quarterback Malik Willis for a touchdown in a red zone drill — creating one of the highlight plays to open training camp on Wednesday.

The Packers don’t traditionally release training camp highlight videos, and members of the media are not allowed to film 11-on-11 periods, so this play likely won’t be made available to the general public and some imagination is required. Regardless, the touchdown catch during a team period represented a strong start for a rookie who could be an instant impact player for the Packers in 2025.

It’s not the scoring play, but here’s a video of Golden during on-field warmups from Wednesday:

If nothing else, the video shows Golden’s impressive movement ability.

Green Bay made Golden the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 draft. Coach Matt LaFleur said he’ll have to earn opportunities in a deep receiver room, but the rookie has the right mindset and work ethic to contribute right away.

“I think he’s definitely not afraid of hard work. He cares about the game. He’s going to put the time in and he’s going to be dedicated,” LaFleur said. “It’ll be great to watch him, when we get the pads on, when we practice with other teams, when we get to preseason games. There’s a lot of competition in that room. Those guys are going to have to fight for all those opportunities.”

Although he worked with the second-team offense at times, Golden did get first-team reps during Wednesday’s practice.

LaFleur said the Packers will likely allow Golden to learn a “primary” position at receiver and then go from there in terms of expanding his knowledge of the different receiver positions on the field.

Golden and the Packers are back on the practice field at 10:30 a.m. CT on Thursday morning.
