The Green Bay Packers seemingly have a bright future at the wide receiver position. Early returns show that Romeo Doubs can make an immediate impact on a contending team, even as a rookie. Additionally, Christian Watson continues to show glimpses that he can be a real weapon on this offense. His sheer speed and size will create significant problems for any secondary. Once Watson and Aaron Rodgers get on the same page, he will be a very dangerous part of this offense. Dez Bryant chimed in on what he thinks of one of the two Packers’ rookie WRs, and he didn’t hold back.

We are nearly one quarter into the 2022 NFL season and Romeo Doubs is putting on a show. So far he has an absurd 79% catch rate. 19 receptions on 24 targets to be exact. To go with that he has 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns. ESPN is projecting him to end with 80+ receptions, 780+ yards, and nine touchdowns. That would be a record setting rookie season for Romeo Doubs. The most important piece is that Romeo Doubs seems to be continuing to earn the trust of Aaron Rodgers. Here is Doubs catching Aaron Rodgers’ 500th career touchdown pass:

Doubs is off to a great start, but he is not on a record setting pace. Billy Howton had 1231 receiving yards and 13 TDS his rookie season with the Packers. And, it was only a 12 game season.
