2021 hasn't been kind to Rasul Douglas.
The former Mountaineer has bounced around the NFL throughout the year. He spent parts of the offseason with both the Las Vegas Raiders and Houston Texans before being cut prior to Week 1. Then, he signed on to the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad.
After four weeks however, Douglas found an opportunity. The Green Bay Packers, in need of secondary depth, signed him.
Since then, he's gotten involved in the Packers defense. He made his biggest impression this past Sunday.
Against the Washington Football Team, Douglas forced a fumble, defended a pass and made four tackles. According to PFF, he earned a team-high grade of 88.3.
Douglas wasn't the only former Mountaineer playing in the NFL this weekend. The following players were on NFL rosters for Week 7:
