Douglas's career path: PHI 3rd-rd pick (2017) → released → CAR → GB (post-Jaire injury claim) → BUF (mid-2023 trade) → MIA (2025 free agent). The constant: he is always one of the highest-PD corners on whatever roster he's on.

The 2021-2023 Green Bay run was the production peak — 5+5+5 INTs over 3 seasons plus the famous endzone pick-six off Kyler Murray to seal a Week 8 2021 game. The pick that started everything.

25 career INTs and 94 PDs is genuine ballhawk volume for a corner. 5 career pick-sixes is what separates Douglas from most volume INT guys — he's quick to recognize routes and consistently gets vertical with the ball.

The dry spell years (2019, 2020, 2024) are equally striking — when his role narrows or scheme changes, the INTs vanish entirely. He's a feast-or-famine ballhawk.

7 INTs in 2023 across GB and BUF — career high, including 5 in 7 BUF games after the deadline trade.

Split

Douglas 2023 split: GB vs BUF

TeamGames (approx)INTsPD
Green Bay (Wk 1-8)~826
Buffalo (Wk 9-end)~958

Bills sent a 3rd-round pick to GB for Douglas at the 2023 deadline and immediately got the best version of him — 5 INTs in 9 games in a Buffalo secondary that had been hemorrhaging deep throws. The 7-INT season tied for the AFC lead in 2023.

It was a rare in-season trade that genuinely transformed a defensive room.

2024 BUF: 0 INTs on 5 PDs — the dry-spell season inside the BUF tenure.

Anomaly

After the 5-INT half-season debut, Bills brought Douglas back for 2024 and his INT count vanished entirely — 0 INTs, 5 PDs in 17 games. Pass-rush context didn't change, but offenses started throwing away from him.

He walked in 2025 free agency to Miami, and immediately rebounded with 13 PDs and 2 INTs in his first 14 games — back to the per-game disruption rate of his peak years.

5 career pick-sixes — 2017, 2021 (2), 2022, 2023 — every team but PHI got one.

The famous one is Week 8, 2021 — Douglas jumped a slant from Kyler Murray in the endzone to seal a 24-21 Packers upset of the Cardinals in Arizona. That play put him on the NFL map.

The 2023 BUF half-season then added 2 more pick-sixes in just 9 games — a turnover-into-TD rate (2 / 5 INTs = 40%) that's borderline absurd.

94 career PDs in 9 seasons — that's an above-average #1 corner production rate, on a journeyman path.

Comparison

Douglas's 94 career PDs across 9 seasons averages out to ~10.4 PDs per season — the rate a team's true #1 corner usually produces. He's done it while never spending more than 3 consecutive seasons on the same roster.

Drafted 3rd round (#99 overall) out of West Virginia in 2017, Douglas has out-produced every corner taken after him in that class.
