Currently, Golden projects himself as a choice of first or second round. He is a very effective road runner and can create a coherent separation between the defensive backs. These characteristics will be important for an NFL team, especially during its recruit season.
In the coming weeks, Golden will be a player to keep an eye on. He shone against Arizona State in the playoffs of university football with 149 yards, seven receptions and a touchdown. This is partly why its stock increased.
Everything the NFL chooses it will have a dynamic playmaker who frustrates the defensive coordinators.
