The Patriots' newest wide receiver shoots on what it's going to be like to play the Green Bay Packers and the potential arrival of A.J. Brown.
Amid all the news about the New England Patriots, one thing to note is we have not heard much publicly from wide receiver Romeo Doubs.
Doubs signed a four-year deal with the New England Patriots in free agency back in March after leaving the Green Bay Packers behind. It seemed as if Doubs was a worthy successor to Stefon Diggs' role on the team, at least in terms of stats. The difference is he's younger, leaving more room for growth as a Patriot in the years to come.
That said, the biggest critique of Doubs is that he is not a WR1, and the Patriots are definitely keeping the door open to fill that spot, potentially by trading for A.J. Brown.
On Tuesday afternoon, Doubs made himself available to speak with the media about playing against his old team in 2026, as the Packers are the Patriots' opponent this upcoming season. It seems Doubs does not view the matchup as a revenge game.
"Green Bay took care of me. You know, it wouldn't be a reason for me to have that type of pressure against them, because again, my career started there," Doubs said. "They taught me the foundation of football, how football works, and situational football."
Doubs then spoke about Drake Maye and his experience working with him during training exercises the last few weeks.
"Very poised guy, very energetic," Doubs said about Drake Maye. "All about ball. That's just something I really appreciate, just being around him. I mean, he's an amazing dude, an amazing quarterback in this league. And like I said, I just look forward to just continuously building and understanding this offense just one day at a time."
Lastly, the free agent signee spoke about what it would be like if the Patriots were to bring in Brown in the coming weeks.
"I was true to my word when I came here that there is no No. 1 guy in this offense," Doubs said. "So, whatever it is I have to do, whether it's playing into the strength more or playing on the backside every here and now, or even having [revolving roles], which I'm really familiar with because I've done it in Green Bay also. I'm open to all roles. That's just part of this league. You know, the more you can do, the more you can do for the team; the more you show for yourself, just things of that nature."
Despite a successful 2025 campaign, there is room for growth in the passing game for New England. A Doubs and Brown threat on the field could do wonders for Drake Maye's development.
