The first one, the ball tracking on that first play is insane... And then there are a couple other ones that hit him in the hands.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Golden shows elite ball tracking but remains inconsistent.

Matthew Golden displays high-end ball-tracking skills reminiscent of Stefon Diggs, allowing him to make difficult catches on back-shoulder throws and contested balls. However, he remains inconsistent, with several catchable balls hitting his hands and failing to be secured, reflecting the volatility expected from his prospect profile.
