​The Green Bay Packers are charging into the 2026 NFL season with plenty of confidence. After all, they have one of the best young quarterbacks in the league in the form of Jordan Love.The former Utah State Aggies star QB will be under pressure to deliver for Green Bay, which failed to live up to the hype in the 2025 NFL season. With the defense expected to miss superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons for multiple weeks to start the season and the uncertain outlook of running back Josh Jacobs, Love and Green Bay’s passing attack will have a lot of heavy lifting to do to keep the team afloat.Wide receiver Matthew Golden is among those counted upon to step up for the Packers. Year 2 of the former Texas Longhorns star wideout in the NFL will be closely monitored by the team’s fans after a disappointing rookie campaign in which he only had 361 receiving yards and zero touchdowns on 29 receptions and 44 targets through 14 games (five starts). Packers WR Golden Shows His Confidence Ahead of 2026 NFL SeasonOct 12, 2025; Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA; Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (0) runs with the ball during the first quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field.

But he struggled to produce downfield and missed games last season.The offseason is a reset for Golden, who still has game-changing speed that he can use to burn past opposing defenders and find open spots.Golden can make noise as early as Week 1, when Green Bay takes on the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium this coming Sunday.Sep 28, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (0) catches a pass over Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland (26) during the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers at AT&T Stadium.
