After signing with the New England Patriots this offseason, wide receiver Romeo Doubs expressed his enthusiasm about getting to team up with quarterback Drake Maye. The former Green Bay Packers pass catcher referred to his new signal as a “very poised” and ”very energetic” player.
"All about ball,” Doubs said of Maye. “That's just something I really appreciate just being around him. I mean, he's an amazing dude, amazing quarterback in this league. And like I said, I just look forward to just continuously building and understanding this offense just one day at a time."
What Romeo Doubs brings to New England's receiving corps is going to be invaluable
Last season, Doubs hauled in 55 receptions for a career high 724 yards and six touchdowns across 16 games played. The 26-year-old wideout also went off during Green Bay’s lone postseason contest against the Chicago Bears, finishing with eight grabs for 124 yards and a score.
Doubs placed fifth among all receivers and tight ends in separation win rate during the 2025 campaign and ranked second in 2024, with the ability to consistently get open, which Maye should certainly welcome having at his disposal on the field next season.
When targeted last season, Doubs generated a 115.9 passer rating (sixth best in the NFL) while recording a 67.0% catch rate (14th highest league-wide).
“I’m open to all roles,” Doubs said. “That’s just part of this league. The more you can do, the more you can do for the team.”
Drake Maye could benefit from playing with Romeo Doubs in 2026
In 2025, Maye’s top two wide receivers in terms of receiving yardage were Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte. However, despite this pass-catching duo being fresh off a Super Bowl LX berth, Diggs remains unsigned in mid-May, while Boutte is reportedly on the trade block for just a late-round pick.
This speaks volumes about how NFL decision-makers view the quality of the decision-making talent surrounding Maye last season, as he put together an MVP-caliber year. It’s also a big reason why the Patriots handed Doubs a four-year pact worth up to $80 million to acquire a vital new weapon for their star quarterback.
If Maye is able to reach even greater heights with his play in 2026, the addition of Doubs is likely to play a large contributing factor in that potential success.
