For years, Romeo Doubs has been a talking point among Green Bay Packers fans.
He’s stepped up big time over and over, especially when Christian Watson has been out with an injury, which is more often than they would want to admit.
However, he’s also disappeared and struggled with drops at times.
That’s why his power struggle with the organization, the lack of a contract extension, and Matthew Golden’s arrival made him a potential trade candidate this season.
Instead, he’s stepped up as the team’s WR1.
With that in mind, and after a three-touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys, Matt LaFleur tipped his hat to him:
“When his number has been called, he has delivered. I think it’s been his approach. In 4 years, Rome has done everything the right way. I know there was a little blip on the screen, but I think that was a one-off. Over time, he does everything the right way in regard to how he prepares, how he supports his teammates, so it’s really cool to see a guy have success like that, and I would expect that to continue,” LaFleur said.

Granted, Doubs and his head coach haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, but the talent is clearly there.
He has a strong connection with Jordan Love, and even though the Packers have a plethora of pass-catchers, Doubs might be the second or third-best they have, which is a lot to say, given how high the bar is.
He’s more reliable than the injured Jayden Reed and, more importantly, he has been available more often than the most talented Christian Watson, who’s reportedly inching closer to making his season debut.
He’s also better than Malik Heath and Dontayvion Wicks.
In an ideal world, the Packers should find a way to keep him around for the long run.
Still, that will also require him to realize that the team is at its best when they spread the wealth, knowing that he will have to share targets with Watson, Golden, and TE Tucker Kraft.
