Jordan Love doesn't hold back on what he's seen from Matthew Golden and why Packers fans should be fired up

Everybody around the Packers have stressed Golden's strong hands. Love corroborated those feelings, but added more to what the rookie weapon can execute.

"He's got very aggressive hands, he's a smooth route runner, and he’s got speed," Love mentioned. "For him, it's just about continuing to understand the playbook and wrap his head around everything we have in, because we have a very deep system. But when he knows what he's doing and he's feeling confident, he's been playing lights out."

On Family Night, Matthew Golden led the Packers wide receivers in snaps out wide. Now, the next step is to show his ability on gameday. Next Saturday, Green Bay plays against the New York Jets at Lambeau Field in its preseason opener, and head coach Matt LaFleur indicated that starters are expected to play.

With the starting offensive line and Jordan Love on the field, Golden will have the opportunity to build a real connection within the offense. And if he can keep the level he's shown at practice, the Packers will have plenty of reasons to believe that the rookie can impact the team from the jump.

Matthew Golden was drafted with the 23rd overall pick in this year's draft—the first wide receiver drafted by the Packers in the first round since 2002, when they took Javon Walker.
