My thoughts on Romeo Doubs:
Romeo Doubs is an interesting Wide Receiver. He has consistently played great football through his three years with the Wolfpack, amassing more than 550 yards in his freshman season and only going up from there (though against inferior competition in the Mountain West Conference).
Doubs has shown traits necessary to succeed in the NFL. His height and frame combined with his vertical speed and football IQ are exactly what you look like when looking for a diamond from a small school like Nevada (who has only had one player drafted into the NFL in the past 6 drafts).
What I noticed when watching what tape I could find on Doubs is that he hardly ever has to fight for the ball because he constantly has excellent separation from defenders. Watch how much separation he gets from the corner on this play at 3:59:
If you watch the rest of the video, you'll see that he has a separation on nearly every play through solid routes and raw speed.
On top of his physical attributes, Doubs is loved and respected by teammates, coaches, and Nevada media alike; Doubing him (yes, pun intended) the "anti-diva".
During the 2021 CFB season, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on Doubs. I would like to see some of his routes become more crisp during the season. I would also like to see him pull in more than the 62% catch rate he secured in 2020, especially going into his third season developing chemistry with Carson Strong. I also definitely need to see him demonstrate a high level of body control. Check out the play at 2:10 in his game against SDSU:
It's a play that could have been yet another TD for him, but he isn't able to pivot his body quickly enough, or bring his right hand into the air fast enough, to negate the play from the DB guarding him.
If Doubs can shore up these issues and have a solid Combine/Pro-Day, I could potentially see him sneaking his way into 3rd round in the 2022 NFL Draft!
