    The first year receiving duo of Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson in 2022 became the first set of rookie teammates in Green Bay Packers history to each catch 40 or more passes in the same season.

    Doubs and Watson were fourth and fifth, respectively, for most receptions on the Packers in 2022. Doubs had 42 receptions for 425 yards and three TD receptions. Watson was second on the team with 611 receiving yards and led the team with seven TD receptions. He had 41 catches.

    Doubs and Watson join this Packers group

    The pair became the seventh and eighth Packers’ rookies to have 40+ receptions in a season and the first rookies to reach that number by a Green Bay rookie since James Jones had 47 catches in his first season in the league in 2007.

    Here are the Packers rookies with the most receptions in a season.

    Most receptions by a Packers’ rookie

    55-Sterling Sharpe, 1988
    53-Billy Howton, 1952
    48-Gerry Ellis, 1980
    47-James Jones, 2007
    46-James Lofton, 1978
    45-Greg Jennings, 2006
    42-Romeo Doubs, 2022
    41-Christian Watson, 2022

    Doubs and Watson become the 13th set of rookie teammates to each have 40+ receptions in a season since 2000. They were one of two sets of teammates that accomplished this in 2022; Tampa Bay rookies Rachaad White and Cade Otton had 50 and 42 receptions for the Bucs this season.

    Doubs, Watson seventh set of teammates to reach these numbers

    The Packers rookies also became the seventh set of rookie teammates to have 40+ receptions, 400+ receiving yards and three or more TD receptions in the same season in league history. The others to reach this mark: Kevin Johnson and Darrin Chiaverini (Cleveland-1999), Terrence Wilkins and Edgerrin James (Indianapolis-1999), Jordan Shipley and Jermaine Gresham (Cincinnati-2010), Ron Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez (New England-2010) T.Y. Hilton and Dwayne Allen (Indianapolis-2012), Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth (Pittsburgh-2021).

    Watson was tied for the league-lead for most TD receptions by a rookie with seven (he tied Washington’s Jahan Dotson for the top spot). Doubs’ three TD receptions was good enough for tie for seventh.

    Packers rookies led league in 2022 for most TD catches

    Packers’ rookie receivers led the league this season with 11 total TD receptions; fellow rookie receiver Samori Toure had one TD reception in 2022 to go along with Watson’s seven and Doubs’ three.
