LaFleur Speaks Out: The Real Reason Reed and Doubs Are Untouchable This Season

As the Green Bay Packers continue their transformation into a younger, faster, and more explosive team, two names have become synonymous with the franchise’s offensive identity: Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs. And now, head coach Matt LaFleur is pulling back the curtain on why these two rising stars are virtually untouchable in Green Bay’s lineup.

“They’re the engine that keeps our passing game running,” LaFleur said during a recent press conference. “It’s not just about talent—it’s the way they prepare, the energy they bring, and how they respond to adversity. You don’t coach that kind of hunger. They live it.”

Jayden Reed, a second-round pick from Michigan State in 2023, has quickly turned into the Packers’ spark plug. His explosiveness from the slot, ability to create separation in tight coverage, and fearless approach to contested catches have made him a nightmare for defenses. What’s more, Reed’s contributions on special teams—especially as a returner—have only added to his value. LaFleur has consistently referred to Reed as a “tone-setter,” praising his relentless effort both in practice and on game day.

Meanwhile, Romeo Doubs, the 2022 fourth-round selection out of Nevada, has proven himself as the team’s most dependable outside receiver. Known for his crisp routes, strong hands, and composure under pressure, Doubs has built undeniable chemistry with quarterback Jordan Love. His clutch catches in red zone situations and ability to win one-on-one matchups have turned him into a favorite target when the game is on the line.

According to LaFleur, what truly sets both receivers apart isn’t just physical ability—but mental toughness. “They don’t flinch,” he said. “They both take coaching extremely well. They bounce back from mistakes and never shy away from big moments.”

Love, stepping into the massive shoes left by Aaron Rodgers, has openly praised the trust he’s developed with Reed and Doubs. “We’ve spent hours grinding in the offseason,” Love shared. “They’re students of the game. When I throw the ball, I know they’ll be where they’re supposed to be.”

The results speak for themselves. Reed and Doubs have consistently made explosive plays, kept drives alive, and helped the Packers stay competitive in tight games. In an offense filled with young potential, they have become pillars of consistency.

For fans in Green Bay, Reed and Doubs represent the future—young, battle-tested, and fearless. And for LaFleur, keeping them on the field isn’t just a strategic decision; it’s essential. “They’re not just part of the offense,” he said. “They are the offense.”

As the season progresses, one thing is clear: Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs are no longer just promising prospects. Under LaFleur’s leadership, they’ve become untouchable cornerstones of the Packers’ new era.
