"Going into Monday night's matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, opposing quarterbacks have a putrid 65.2 passer rating when targeting him, completing 52.7 percent of those passes for just 5.3 yards per target. Douglas has an interception in back-to-back games, and his five passes defensed to go with the pick last week against the New York Jets earned him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for the third time in his eight NFL seasons."
"MIAMI GARDENS - When Miami Dolphins cornerback Rasul Douglas was without a team essentially the entire offseason, he enjoyed spending time with his son, taking him to school and picking him up. He actually was with him at a Six Flags theme park, fresh off getting off a ride, when the Dolphins called checking in on him again as training camp was wrapping up and the regular season was two weeks away."
Rasul Douglas spent most of the offseason without a team and prioritized time with his son, including school drop-offs and a Six Flags visit. The Dolphins checked in late in training camp and signed him as a late addition; he was not a starter in the opener but entered the lineup after Storm Duck was injured and placed on IR. Douglas has locked down his side of the field, allowing a 65.2 passer rating when targeted, a 52.7 percent completion rate and only 5.3 yards per target. He recorded interceptions in back-to-back games and added five passes defensed, earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. His coverage has helped Miami rank 12th against the pass and improved scoring, third-down and red-zone defenses. Coach Mike McDaniel cited tape study and skillset and called Douglas a driving force within the team's nucleus.
