Green Bay Packers’ offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich har store forventninger til wide receiver Matthew Golden i 2026. Golden blev draftet i første runde i 2025, men måtte indledningsvis konkurrere med en stærk modtagergruppe, hvilket begrænsede hans spilletid.
I den forgangne sæson nåede Golden at tage imod 29 afleveringer for 361 yards, men det var i slutspillet mod Chicago Bears, at han for alvor viste sit potentiale. Med fire catches for 84 yards og én touchdown i den kamp gav han et glimt af, hvad han kan præstere, når han får mere spilletid.
Med Romeo Doubs skiftet til New England Patriots som free agent og Dontayvion Wicks handlet til Philadelphia Eagles, er der nu plads til, at Golden kan få en større rolle i Packers’ angreb i den kommende sæson.
Under en pressekonference mandag blev Stenavich spurgt om, hvordan dette vil påvirke Golden’s muligheder og præstationer.
"Jeg tror, at alle disse faktorer vil stige. Jeg er begejstret for ham, han har set rigtig god ud indtil videre. Det bliver et stort år for ham, og jeg glæder mig til at følge det," udtalte Stenavich.
Selvom Christian Watson og Jayden Reed også forventes at spille centrale roller i Packers’ modtagergruppe, og tight end Tucker Kraft håbes at vende tilbage efter skade, er Golden blevet Packers’ første wide receiver draftet i første runde siden 2002. Holdet ser nu frem til, at dette valg endelig begynder at bære frugt i den kommende sæson.
