Packers’ who have outperformed contract: Rasul Douglas

Rasul Douglas is turning out to be one heck of a mid-season pickup. Signed off the Arizona Cardinal’s practice squad at the beginning of October due to injuries at cornerback, Douglas has come to Green Bay and done a fabulous job.

With Kevin King and Jaire Alexander out of the lineup, Douglas proved himself worthy of a starting spot. His game-winning interception in the end zone against that same Cardinals team was icing on the cake. During the game last week, Douglas kept his spot ahead of King on the depth chart. Not bad for a guy only making $770,000 this season.
