2022
[edit]Doubs was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round (132nd overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft.[15] He signed his four-year rookie contract on May 26, 2022.[16]
Throughout his rookie training camp, Doubs reportedly impressed both teammates and coaches.[17][18] On August 12, 2022, he scored the first Packers touchdown of the preseason on a 29-yard pass from fellow Mountain West alum Jordan Love.[19] The following week Doubs would catch another touchdown pass, adding to his preseason total.[20]
Doubs saw his first NFL action on September 11, 2022, in a Week 1 loss against the Minnesota Vikings, finishing with four catches for 37 yards.[21] He had a breakout performance on September 25 during a Week 3 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, catching all eight of his targets for 73 yards and his first NFL touchdown, a five-yard reception from Aaron Rodgers.[22][23] Doubs was named the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for his play.[24] The following week Doubs caught Rodgers' 500th career touchdown pass.[25] He was also part of a controversial non-catch on a potential go-ahead touchdown pass from Rodgers.[26] On November 6, Doubs injured his ankle on the first play of the game.[27] Doubs would miss four games, before returning on December 19.[28] In his first game back, he led the team in receiving yards, totaling five catches for 55 yards in a victory over the Los Angeles Rams.[29]
Doubs finished his rookie year with 42 receptions for 425 yards and three receiving touchdowns.[30][31]
2023
[edit]In Week 1 against the Chicago Bears, Doubs caught four passes for 26 yards and two receiving touchdowns during the 38–20 win.[32] On September 24, Doubs caught the go-ahead touchdown, an eight-yard reception from Jordan Love, in a come-from-behind Week 3 victory against the New Orleans Saints.[33] He finished the game with five receptions, for 73 yards, and a touchdown.[34]
2024
[edit]On October 5, the Packers suspended Doubs from their Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams, after reportedly staying away from two days of practice due to frustration over lack of involvement in the team's passing game.[35][36] Doubs would later state that he was dealing with "some things going on off the field" but that he could have done a better job of communicating with the team.[37] Both sides expressed a desire to move forward after the incident.[38] In his first game back from suspension, a Week 6 victory against the Arizona Cardinals, Doubs had two receiving touchdowns.[39]
In the third quarter of a Week 12 win over the San Francisco 49ers, Doubs sustained a concussion while trying to make a catch in the end zone.[40] He missed the next two games as he worked through concussion protocol but returned for the team's Week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks, donning a Guardian Cap for extra protection and caught two touchdowns.[41][42]
