Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love appears to have a new favorite target.
Per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Love has been going to wide receiver Romeo Doubs a lot in practice.
“While Christian Watson got most of the attention for his big plays late last season, Doubs has seemingly become quarterback Jordan Love’s go-to guy — at least in the offseason practices,” Demovsky wrote. “Whether it’s in scripted team periods or move-the-ball drills like the two-minute simulation, Doubs has been targeted time and again.”
“Don’t forget, it was Doubs who starred last preseason when Love got all the No. 1 reps in the games because Aaron Rodgers didn’t play. And Doubs was off to a strong start last year as a rookie until a midseason ankle injury changed his trajectory.”
While Doubs was fourth on the team in receiving yards this past season (425), that number looks destined to rise in 2023.
Love is set to be the full-time starting quarterback for the first time in his career after Rodgers was dealt to the New York Jets earlier this offseason.
