Matthew Golden, wide receiver, Texas
His plans for his NFL money went viral

Golden represents a milestone for the Packers, famously the first wide receiver taken in the first round since 2002. During the pre-draft process, Golden repeatedly answered the question of what he's going to do with his financial windfall as an NFL player the same way: He planned to buy his grandmother a house.

NFL DRAFT GRADES: Recap all NFL Draft picks, grades and analysis for all 32 teams.
And maybe the exact house she lost a couple of years ago? Golden told On3 Sports that the house where he grew up is literally on the market right now, located close to his high school.

That'd be a very cool story.

Anthony Belton, tackle, North Carolina State
He’s got an unusual nickname: ‘Big Escalade’

Not interesting

Savion Williams, wide receiver, Texas Christian
His daughter needed a life-saving procedure in 2023

Williams and his wife, Jorden, have a daughter named Legacy who was born six weeks premature in 2023 and spent 17 weeks in the NICU because of an AV canal defect that required open-heart surgery. In 2024, he told the Texas Christian campus magazine that she's now an active, healthy girl.

Glad she's healthy

Barryn Sorrell, defensive end, Texas
He showed up to the draft in Green Bay, and it paid off

I feel like we already know, but the first Lambeau leap was neat

Collin Oliver, defensive end, Oklahoma State
Nobody who played FBS last year had more career sacks than him


Cool stat, especially since he only played two games last year due to injury and no one passed him.

Warren Brinson, defensive tackle, Georgia
He’s flown an airplane

Dane Brugler of The Athletic wrote in his annual draft epic, “The Beast,” that Brinson is a hunter, fisherman and amateur pilot who flew his first plane in 2024.


Huntin', Fishin', Lovin' Everyday

Micah Robinson, cornerback, Tulane
He went to the same high school as...


Short version:

Robinson went to Westlake High School in Atlanta... and so did

CB Adam “Pacman” Jones
QB Malik Willis (before transferring)
QB Cam Newton

And second year in a row the Packers have drafted a Tulane player in the 7th.

John Williams, tackle, Cincinnati
He played for Luke Fickell and had a remarkable major in college

Williams was part of the 2020 recruiting class at Cincinnati for now-Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell, and he would end up playing four seasons at left tackle for the Bearcats. Not only that, he majored in aerospace engineering at the school. So, yes, he could theoretically be an offensive lineman or ... a rocket scientist?

It cannot possibly be lost on you that famed movie composer John Williams created the music for E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the Star Wars films.

I am sure it was a great idea for Matthew Golden to announce to the world that he was going to buy back Grandma's house.

Better call Saul. At minimum,.learn what an LLC is or somethin"

Yeah, maybe buy her someplace better, and where everyone doesn't know where she lives, as don't want Grandma potentially getting robed just because idiots assume she might have some money in the place because of what her grandbaby does.
