The New England Patriots made a significant move this offseason by signing former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs to a four-year, $68 million contract.
Doubs has the potential to be the top receiver in New England, especially since the Patriots haven't made any notable additions to the position. Despite possibly being the leading wide receiver, Bleacher Report's Moe Moton believes Doubs is primed for a "breakout" season.
"Now with the New England Patriots, Doubs can be a true No. 1 receiver," Moton wrote on Tuesday. "New England cut wideout Stefon Diggs, who saw 102 targets last season.
"With Drake Maye's recent growth as a passer and the absence of a star playmaking receiver, Doubs should be in line for an uptick in targets. Barring New England trading for A.J. Brown, he's in a good spot to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time in his career."
Doubs spent four seasons in Green Bay, recording 202 receptions for 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns across 59 games.
Although Doubs played alongside a talented quarterback in Jordan Love during those four seasons, there’s a chance his performance could elevate even further playing next to Maye, who has the potential to become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
