The New England Patriots made a splash this offseason by signing wide receiver Romeo Doubs, and the newest member of the offense already has high praise for his quarterback, Drake Maye. On Tuesday, Doubs shared his thoughts on the young signal-caller, and Patriots fans will love what he had to say.
"Very poised guy. Very energetic. All about ball. That's something I appreciate being around him. He's an amazing dude, an amazing quarterback in this league," Doubs told 98.5 The Sports Hub's Alex Barth.
Coming from a receiver who spent time catching passes from future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, these words carry weight. Doubs knows elite quarterback play when he sees it, and his endorsement of Maye suggests the duo could be poised for a breakout season together.
The Patriots brought in Doubs to help fill the void left by Stefon Diggs, who led the team in receiving and posted a 1,000-yard campaign. While Doubs has never been a true No. 1 option in his NFL career—operating in Green Bay's spread-the-wealth offense—he's now slated to be the top target in New England. That could mean a significant uptick in production.
There's also buzz that the Patriots could add another star receiver, with reports indicating A.J. Brown might join the team after June 1. Doubs addressed that possibility with the media, sounding welcoming and calling Brown "one of the best receivers in the league." Whether Brown ends up in Foxborough or not, the connection between Doubs and Maye already looks promising.
With a veteran presence like Doubs and a dynamic young quarterback in Maye, the Patriots' passing attack has the potential to surprise plenty of critics this season. For fans looking to rep the new-look offense, keep an eye on the official team shop for the latest gear.
