The New York Jets could surround their new quarterback Justin Fields with more talent in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. Stacking playmaking talent is one way to make life easier for a quarterback and the Jets’ No. 7 overall pick could position them to bring in another dynamic weapon.
Jets linked to Texas WR Matthew Golden in draft forecast
Matthew Golden, a wide receiver from the University of Texas, has rapidly ascended draft boards following a standout junior season and an impressive performance at the NFL Combine. In his first year with the Longhorns after transferring from Houston, Golden recorded 987 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, leading the team in both categories.
At the NFL Combine, Golden showcased his exceptional speed by running a 4.29-second 40-yard dash, the fastest among all receivers and the second-fastest overall.
This performance has led analysts to predict that Golden could be the first wide receiver selected in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Given his rapid rise and standout attributes, some experts suggest that the New York Jets should consider selecting Golden with the No. 7 overall pick in the first round. His exceptional speed and playmaking abilities could significantly bolster the Jets’ receiving corps.
Jets: Golden could be building block for future
Matthew Golden, a 21-year-old wide receiver from the University of Texas, has seen his draft stock rise significantly throughout the pre-draft process. Initially projected as a second-round pick, he is now considered a late-first-round prospect, with some analysts placing him within the top 20 selections.
