Packers Brightening the Season: Rasul Douglas

While Jaire Alexander earned a spot on our list of most disappointing Packers, his counterpart, Rasul Douglas, is making a different kind of impact.

Douglas hasn’t been flawless, but he consistently injects Green Bay’s defense with swagger, confidence, and an unyielding spirit. This mentality proves invaluable, ensuring that his team remains resilient throughout the game.

Across four games this season, Douglas has displayed sturdy run support from his cornerback position, missing just two tackles while recording 17. In coverage, despite being frequently targeted, he has held his own. Douglas remains a steal for Green Bay, far exceeding expectations.
