The Denver Broncos are taking a close look at the fastest wide receiver in the NFL draft.
The Broncos are bringing in Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden for one of their 30 non-local pre-draft visits, according to a report from KUSA-TV's Mike Klis .

Golden (5-11, 191 pounds) ran a blazing-fast 40-yard dash in 4.29 seconds at the NFL combine, the fastest time among WRs and second-fastest overall in this year's class.
After spending the first two years of his college career at Houston , Golden transferred to Texas ahead of the 2024 season. He totaled 58 receptions for a team-high 987 receiving yards and nine touchdowns last fall.
Golden returned 14 kickoffs for 285 yards last fall, and he ran back nine kickoffs for 321 yards and two touchdowns in 2023 while at Houston. The speedy receiver undoubtedly has potential to make a big impact both on offense and special teams in the NFL.

Denver already has an All-Pro returner in Marvin Mims and a developing speedy receiver in Troy Franklin , so it remains to be seen if the Broncos would be willing to use a first-round pick on Golden. Denver holds seven draft picks this year, including No. 20 in the first round.
