Golden's 501 yards through six weeks outpaces all 2025 WR draft class peers.

After an uninspiring rookie season, Golden has bounced back impressively in 2026 with 30 catches and 501 yards through six weeks, surpassing his entire 2025 output and outproducing all wide receivers taken ahead of him in the 2025 NFL Draft. He is tied for third in the NFL with nine catches of 20+ yards, demonstrating explosive play-making ability despite leading the NFL in drops per Pro Football Focus charting. The source characterizes this as an 'exciting redemption tour' with Golden now at the center of the Packers' offense.
