The Green Bay Packers added potential future starters at wide receiver and the offensive line during the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft. The team selected Nevada’s Romeo Doubs at No. 132 overall and Wake Forest’s Zach Tom at No. 140 overall on Saturday.
Doubs is a legitimate deep threat with a James Jones-like body type and punt return potential. He produced back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons in 2020 and 2021 (in just 20 games) and left Nevada as one of the most productive pass-catchers in school history. His athletic profile and receiving talent give him a real chance of developing into a quality No. 2 or No. 3 option in the Packers passing game.
“We liked his play speed. We thought he played fast on tape,” director of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan said. “He’s a fairly big kid…we thought he was very intriguing. Good value where we got him. Good week at the Senior Bowl. We think he’s got some upside to grow into a player.”
