At Texas, he led the wide receiver room in offensive snaps and routes run in the regular season, but multiple wide receivers earned a higher grade than he did. He posted 1.6 yards per route run in the regular season, fifth among Texas‘s top six wide receivers. Then the playoffs hit, and Golden was much more dominant. He caught 19 of 29 passes for 411 yards for 3.37 yards per route run.
Golden’s stock increased even further after he ran the second-fastest 40-yard dash at the combine at 4.29 seconds. However, his PFF's tracking data suggests average speed for a wide receiver. His speeds were notably slower than fellow rookie receivers Tetairoa McMillan, Travis Hunter and Luther Burden III.
Golden was a big red zone target at both Houston and Texas, with a 40% end zone target rate at Houston in 2023 and 31% in 2024 at Texas. Given the Packers' high-scoring, quality offense, there is a chance Golden could score a lot of touchdowns for Green Bay.
