Fantasy Impact:
A JUCO transfer to Missouri, Golden replaced former Mizzou pass rush specialist Michael Sam. Standing 6'2" and weighing in at 260 lbs., Golden has a powerful and compact frame like Sam. A plus athlete with good agility, balance and core strength, Golden uses good hand technique and double moves to beat pass blocks. Golden can help replace some of the pass rush Arizona lost with the departure of Darnell Dockett. While he may not be draftable in IDP leagues, Golden will be a contributor for Arizona's defense, which finished 9th in 2014.
