Golden’s four-year, $17.5 million rookie contract is fully guaranteed and includes a $9.42 million signing bonus. The standout receiver has suggested he intends to use that money for good.

“Definitely get my grandma a house,” he said when asked what he’d buy first. “We lost our property a couple years ago and it would be a blessing to be able to get that back for my family.”

At times, Golden was raised without a stable home, a severe hindrance in his childhood. Nevertheless, he made it to the NFL — and at 22, he’s determined never to go back.

“It was hard just growing up, the times I was without a home, being a young kid, not really understanding why we were in that situation, but I feel like God put us through that for a reason. I always look back at that. That’s what keeps me going as a man. Right then and there, that’s what everything started from.”

Unfortunately, the family’s former home was found in a dilapidated state, and the repair costs were too high to justify. Golden partnered with a RE/MAX real-estate team to find a more suitable home for his grandmother.

When he finally walked her up to the front door of her new house, Golden described the scene as a “full circle moment.” It was a long-term promise kept — and the tear-filled hug from his grandmother made it all worth it.
