For the first time since 2002, the Packers have drafted a WR in Round 1.
Did anyone else poop themselves tonight? Mark Murphy went up to announce the Green Bay Packers’ first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, and as soon as he veered from the usual draft pick announcement lingo, I knew something special was coming. Listen to the crowd (and the draft analysts!) as he begins with “For the first time…”
The first @Packers‘ pick in Green Bay is…
WR Matthew Golden

Our Golden boy (I’m workshopping; give me time) got to speak to the crowd after being announced, and again: listen to that crowd. And who said Green Bay wouldn’t be able to accommodate this many people? SHAME!
