GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers did something in the first round of the NFL draft that they hadn’t done since 2002.
The host team for this year’s NFL draft selected a wide receiver, taking Texas’ Matthew Golden at No. 23 overall on Thursday night.
The previous time the Packers took a wide receiver in the opening round was 23 years ago when Javon Walker went 20th.
The 21-year-old Golden is coming off an excellent junior season in which he had 58 catches for 987 yards and nine touchdowns.
