GREEN BAY — Matthew Golden may have only caught one pass in last Saturday night’s preseason opener, but the Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver might have gained two fans in the process: New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner and wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

Golden said he had never met either player before bumping into them in the aftermath of the Jets’ 30-10 victory over the Packers at Lambeau Field.

“We just crossed paths. [I] went and dapped them up and I guess they recognized me,” Golden recounted after practice Monday. “Just told me what they had to say, and we just went on from there.”

And what did Wilson and Gardner tell him?

“They gave me some feedback,” Golden said. “Just told me to keep going, rookie year, just stay confident, keep playing hard.”
