The 6-foot wideout caught 58 passes for 987 yards and nine touchdowns for the Longhorns in 2024. Golden caught seven passes for 149 yards and a touchdown in Texas’ Peach Bowl win against Arizona State.
The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler mocked Golden to the Cardinals in the first round, giving quarterback Kyler Murray another wideout to pair with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson.
A ‘riser’ in the process, Matthew Golden’s aerial ability and dynamic athletic profile showcase one of the premier pass-catchers in the class. Arizona has added talent at wideout over the last few years, and Golden would be another piece for QB Kyler Murray to feed with targets. Golden, Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride and Michael Wilson are an extremely exciting young core.
ESPN listed Golden as the second best receiver in the draft, while Pro Football Focus sees him as the fourth best.
