Romeo Doubs on Fire in OTAs — Emerging as Packers’ Summer Standout with Explosive Play
In a scorching offseason filled with position battles, contract rumors, and training narratives, one player is storming out of the shadows in Green Bay: wide receiver Romeo Doubs. As OTAs (Organized Team Activities) blaze through June, Doubs isn’t just participating — he’s dominating.
Described by teammates and coaches alike as a “specimen”, Doubs has turned routine reps into highlight reels, leaving defenders and expectations in his wake. Whether it’s soaring over corners or ripping through routes with rare precision, the third-year wideout is showing signs that he’s not content with just being a supporting piece in Jordan Love’s aerial attack. He wants to be the guy.
The buzz started with murmurs during early OTA sessions, as insiders noted Doubs’ crisp footwork and commanding presence at the line of scrimmage. But it reached a boiling point this past week when Doubs reportedly turned heads with a dominant 11-on-11 stretch — including a leaping touchdown grab over two defenders and a breakaway sprint that left Green Bay’s secondary scrambling.
While Jordan Love continues his development as Green Bay’s QB1, his trust in Doubs appears to be skyrocketing. The two have built chemistry on and off the field, staying after practice to fine-tune timing and reads. In a Packers receiver room crowded with potential — including Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and rookie Malik Nabers — Doubs is staking his claim as the alpha.
Doubs’ journey hasn’t always been this electric. Drafted in the fourth round in 2022 out of Nevada, he entered the league with solid tools but few expectations. He flashed early in his rookie year but battled inconsistency and injuries. Last season, he showed more stability, catching 59 passes for 674 yards and 8 touchdowns, but still wasn’t viewed as a top-tier threat by many around the league.
The physical transformation is evident as well. Doubs showed up to OTAs looking leaner and faster, but without sacrificing strength. At 6-foot-2 and around 205 pounds, he’s a nightmare matchup when his confidence clicks — especially in red-zone situations, where he’s been nearly unguardable this month.
While the Packers are expected to lean heavily on Jordan Love’s continued growth, the weapons around him will define how far this offense can go in 2025. And if Doubs maintains this level, he could be the X-factor that takes Matt LaFleur’s offense to new heights.
It’s also worth noting that Doubs’ rise may ease some pressure on Christian Watson, whose injury woes have limited his availability. With Doubs emerging as a dependable go-to option, Love now has a safety net that’s not only reliable — but explosive.
Green Bay fans, ever hungry for their next offensive superstar, may be looking at one in the making.
Training camp and preseason games will be the next crucible, but Doubs has already set a powerful tone. He’s not just fighting for playing time — he’s trying to become the face of the receiving corps.
