In response to the Packers' first-round selection of Golden, McConaughey sent a three-word message on Golden being a complete wide receiver. "route, hands, speed," he wrote in an X post. The Packers social media team's response: "DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?!"

The selection marks the first time in more than two decades that Green Bay has spent a first-round pick on a running back, wide receiver or tight end.
