### 2022

Doubs was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round (132nd overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft. He signed his four-year rookie contract on May 26, 2022.
Throughout his rookie training camp, Doubs reportedly impressed both teammates and coaches. On August 12, 2022, he scored the first Packers touchdown of the preseason on a 29-yard pass from fellow Mountain West alum Jordan Love. The following week Doubs would catch another touchdown pass, adding to his preseason total.
Doubs saw his first NFL action on September 11, 2022, in a Week 1 loss against the Minnesota Vikings, finishing with four catches for 37 yards. He had a breakout performance on September 25 during a Week 3 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, catching all eight of his targets for 73 yards and his first NFL touchdown, a five-yard reception from Aaron Rodgers. Doubs was named the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for his play. The following week Doubs caught Rodgers' 500th career touchdown pass. He was also part of a controversial non-catch on a potential go-ahead touchdown pass from Rodgers. On November 6, Doubs injured his ankle on the first play of the game. Doubs would miss four games, before returning on December 19. In his first game back, he led the team in receiving yards, totaling five catches for 55 yards in a victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
Doubs finished his rookie year with 42 receptions for 425 yards and three receiving touchdowns.

### 2023

In Week 1 against the Chicago Bears, Doubs caught four passes for 26 yards and two receiving touchdowns during the 38–20 win. On September 24, Doubs caught the go-ahead touchdown, an eight-yard reception from Jordan Love, in a come-from-behind Week 3 victory against the New Orleans Saints. He finished the game with five receptions, for 73 yards, and a touchdown. He finished the 2023 season with 59 receptions for 674 yards and eight touchdowns. In the Wild Card Round against the Dallas Cowboys, he had six receptions for 151 yards and one touchdown in the 48–32 win.

### 2024

On October 5, the Packers suspended Doubs from their Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams, after reportedly staying away from two days of practice due to frustration over lack of involvement in the team's passing game. Doubs would later state that he was dealing with "some things going on off the field" but that he could have done a better job of communicating with the team. Both sides expressed a desire to move forward after the incident. In his first game back from suspension, a Week 6 victory against the Arizona Cardinals, Doubs had two receiving touchdowns.
In the third quarter of a Week 12 win over the San Francisco 49ers, Doubs sustained a concussion while trying to make a catch in the end zone. He missed the next two games as he worked through concussion protocol but returned for the team's Week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks, donning a Guardian Cap for extra protection, and caught two touchdowns. He finished the 2024 season with 46 receptions for 601 yards and four touchdowns.
Despite continuing to wear the Guardian Cap, Doubs sustained a second concussion in the team's Wild Card playoff loss to the Eagles.
