Matthew Golden worked as Green Bay’s primary boundary receiver

The lineup mattered as much as the catches. Golden played opposite Christian Watson, then stacked several clean wins into the same practice.

Golden beat Keisean Nixon on a shallow slant and a deep ball in one-on-ones. He later caught a goal-line fade and a 52-yard touchdown from Jordan Love.

A good Family Night does not settle Green Bay’s target order. It does put a useful marker on Golden’s role: the Packers gave him boundary work with the first group and he made something of it.

Context

Green Bay entered camp with a crowded receiver room. Golden’s position in the formation is worth tracking separately from the nightly catch count. The Leap ↗
