It is unlikely that Packer fans had ever heard of Rasul Douglas prior to October 6 of last year. That’s when Green Bay signed the cornerback off the practice squad of the Arizona Cardinals. The Packers were in desperate need of help at the position after both starters, Jaire Alexander and Kevin King, went down with injuries. And, at the time, it seemed to be a bit of a desperate signing.
After all, Douglas was the definition of a journeyman player. He had been shipped on and off of four different NFL teams just in 2021 alone before coming to Green Bay.
