Yahoo Sports NFL on Romeo Doubs
From the article
he has run a go route on 26% of his routes, per PFF, and a curl on 21%. Those straight-line patterns don't reflect how effective he was as a route-runner with the Packers in 2025.
STACKED’s take
Doubs misused in vertical route tree; go/curl routes (47%) don't match his Packers success.
Romeo Doubs has replaced A.J. Brown as the X-receiver since Week 2, taking 93.7% of his snaps outside. Matt Harmon views this as a misuse of Doubs' skill set. In 2025 with Green Bay, Doubs was an effective route-runner and separator in the middle of the field with a 69.2% success rate vs. man coverage and 69% success rate vs. press. However, in New England's system, Doubs has run a go route on 26% of his routes and a curl on 21%—straight-line patterns that don't reflect his effectiveness as a route-runner with the Packers. Harmon sees this as a canary-in-the-coal-mine signal that the Patriots plan to run the same system as last year rather than adapt to their personnel.
