Romeo Doubs dropped what might have been the game-winning play and his best throw of the afternoon, but Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made it clear his confidence level in the rookie wide receiver is still sky high, and he pointed to a few plays both before and after the drop as the evidence why.
“Romeo is growing. He’s making some plays,” Rodgers said after Sunday’s 27-24 overtime win over the New England Patriots. “I hit him twice on the last drive, so obviously I have confidence in him. Went to him on the key third down with two minutes left in the game, so I’m not going to lose confidence in him. We’ll hold him accountable, but he’s a great kid. I threw a third-down back-shoulder fade to him for a touchdown, I’d say I’ve got some confidence in him.”
