The Green Bay Packers selected Cincinnati OT John Williams with the No. 250 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Williams has a stout, thick build with good arm length, big hands, solid play strength and athletic ability.

Breakdown: A young receiver with big-time speed and playmaking ability is coming to Green Bay.

Golden caught 58 passes and scored nine touchdowns for Texas in 2024.
