FOXBORO — Patriots quarterback Drake Maye already has a big fan in his newest target, wide receiver Romeo Doubs.

Doubs, who officially signed his four-year contract with the Patriots on Thursday, said he’s already spoken to his new quarterback.

“He is an amazing person to be around. I love his personality,” Doubs said.

“Obviously, his growth as a player on and off the field, that’s really big. And I think just being able to lead the team, because ultimately, this game is team-based.”

The laid-back 25-year-old wide receiver also said he was attracted to the Patriots’ structure, “from the top down” and said head coach Mike Vrabel was “real big” in his decision to come to New England over other offers, which reportedly included the Commanders.

“It was a great opportunity I felt like I couldn’t pass on,” Doubs said Thursday. “I know I’m going to be around a great group of guys. Going to be around a great young quarterback in Drake, great coaching staff in Vrabel and Josh (McDaniels). And even just from a defensive standpoint, I know I’m going to come across some great people, and I just look forward to it.”

The Patriots are getting a wide receiver entering his prime and coming off a career-high 724-yard season with 55 catches and six touchdowns.

In four seasons since entering the NFL as a fourth-round pick out of Nevada, Doubs has 202 catches for 2,424 yards with 21 touchdowns, most of which have come inside the red zone. The best two games of Doubs’ career have come at critical times, as well, with his two 100-yard performances occurring in the postseason.

He impressed Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf on Thursday.

“I don’t know if you guys saw him up here, like, he was already in the playbook,” Wolf said. “He was on his iPad, learning the formations while I was trying to get him to sign his contract this morning. So, it was pretty cool.”

Wolf described Doubs as having “a really cool skill set.”

“I think he can play outside, inside, he blocks, he can play Z, he can play X,” Wolf said. “He’s good on the short routes, he’s good on the deep routes, he’s good with the ball in his hands. He has a lot of route variance that we liked — strong for the ball. There’s some things that he can improve upon that we’ll try to help him with. But overall, just the competitor, the person.”

Doubs described himself by saying, “I just feel I can do everything really well.”

“I can run routes, I can catch the ball, I can block on the perimeter. And I’ve participated in (special) teams over my years in Green Bay, and just outside of that, there’s many other areas that I can improve in, and I look forward to that as well,” he said.

Doubs didn’t come cheap, but out of all of the wide receivers who have signed or been traded or franchised this offseason, his $17 million APY still comes in sixth behind Alec Pierce, D.J. Moore, George Pickens, Michael Pittman and Wan’dale Robinson. He signed a similar contract to Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who is two years older and has been less dependable and productive over their respective four-year careers.

Based on his contract, Doubs is currently the Patriots’ top wide receiver. He was asked if he looks forward to more opportunities with his new team.

“I’ll be really honest with you, I would love to stay true to just understanding where I am and coming into a new system under our offensive coordinator,” Doubs said. “And yeah, I wouldn’t really specify that I’m gonna go in with this amount of targets or that amount of targets, because I’ve come from a place where that didn’t really mean much, and I give credit, obviously, to New England welcoming me with open arms and Green Bay just based off the history and the situation that we were in while I was there.”

Doubs effectively replaces Stefon Diggs, who was released Wednesday, in the Patriots’ wide receiver corps, though he’ll likely play a different role. Doubs joins Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism, John Jiles and Jeremiah Webb.

Wolf wouldn’t rule out the possibility of still acquiring a wide receiver via trade or bringing back Diggs while speaking to the media on Thursday.

Diggs was more productive than Doubs in 2025, but Doubs is significantly younger, and his best football is still possibly in front of him, while Diggs was viewed as a player potentially on the decline.
