Romeo Doubs doesn’t exactly have a defining trait as a wide receiver, but he certainly has a defining aesthetic. The Green Bay Packers veteran has famously worn a massive helmet since the tail end of the 2024 season.
Why, you may ask? Well, it’s for safety. Doubs suffered his first career concussion against the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 24, 2024, and since then he has chosen to wear a soft-shell helmet cover called the Guardian Cap. Doubs made a triumphant return to the lineup with his Guardian Cap, scoring two touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks on Dec. 15, so it makes sense why he never changed things up.
The Guardian Cap is not concussion-proof, however, as Doubs suffered another head injury in a 2025 playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Doubs isn’t as flashy a player as Jayden Reed, Christian Watson or Matthew Golden, yet he’s been Jordan Love’s favorite target this season with 55 catches and 724 yards. Maybe the huge helmet helps Love see him downfield.
Whatever the case, Packers fans hope to see plenty of the Love-to-Doubs connection when Green Bay faces the Chicago Bears in the opening round of the playoffs on Saturday night.
