The 2022 NFL Draft class had several talented first-round wide receivers. Six got selected in the first 18 picks, including three acquired in draft-night trades. However, 28 wide receivers got drafted in total, including 11 on Day 3. One of the more intriguing names picked on Day 3 was Nevada’s Romeo Doubs.
Doubs was a three-star recruit in 2018. He was the 188th rated wide receiver and the 136th rated player in the state of California. As a three-star recruit, Doubs didn’t receive offers from the top programs in the Pac-12 like USC and Oregon. Instead, he had offers from Rutgers and Nevada. After choosing Nevada, Doubs became a massive part of the offense over the next four years.
The Los Angeles native made an impact right away as a freshman. His 42 receptions and 562 receiving yards were the third-most on the team that year. Doubs put up similar numbers as a sophomore with 44 receptions for 649 receiving yards and four touchdowns. But then, he took a step forward as a junior.
