Injuries to Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson created the opportunity, and Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Romeo Doubs took full advantage during his first NFL start on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The fourth-round pick played a career-high 55 snaps from scrimmage and caught all eight of his targets for 73 yards and his first NFL touchdown during the Packers’ 14-12 win.
According to the team, Doubs’ eight catches are the most by a rookie since 1988 and the second-most by a rookie in a single game (Max McGee, nine, 1954) in Packers history.
