Rasul Douglas
Rasul Douglas (born August 29, 1995) is an American professional football cornerback. He played college football for the West Virginia Mountaineers, and was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft. He has also been a member of the Carolina Panthers, Las Vegas Raiders, Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, and Buffalo Bills.
Douglas started his college career at Nassau Community College. After redshirting in 2012, he recorded 83 tackles and five interceptions over the 2013 and 2014 seasons. In 2015, he transferred to West Virginia University. During his first season at West Virginia, he appeared in 11 games and recorded seven tackles and an interception. As a senior in 2016, Douglas was named first-team All-Big 12 Conference after he tied for the nation lead with eight interceptions. He also had 70 tackles and a sack.
Coming out of West Virginia, Douglas was projected to be a third-to-fifth round pick from the majority of NFL draft experts and analysts. He received an invitation to the NFL Combine and completed all of the required combine and positional drills. On March 31, 2017, Douglas participated at West Virginia's pro day and opted to run the 40, 20, and 10-yard dash once again while also performing positional drills. Team representatives and scouts from all 32 NFL teams attended to scout Douglas, K. J. Dillon, Shelton Gibson, Tyler Orlosky, and 14 other prospects. He was ranked the 19th best cornerback prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com. Pro Football Focus ranked Douglas as the 16th best cornerback prospect in the 2017 NFL Draft.
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Douglas in the third round (99th overall) of the 2017 NFL draft. The Baltimore Ravens originally held the third round pick (99th overall), but orchestrated a trade to send defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan and the 99th overall pick to the Eagles in exchange for their third round pick (74th overall), which was used to select defensive end Chris Wormley. He was the 17th cornerback selected in the draft, and the second selected by Philadelphia after Sidney Jones in the second round (42nd overall).
On May 11, 2017, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Douglas to a four–year, $3.17 million contract that included an initial signing bonus of $706,288.
Throughout training camp, Douglas competed against Patrick Robinson, Jalen Mills, Ron Brooks, Ronald Darby, Jaylen Watkins, Aaron Grymes, and Sidney Jones for a role as a starting cornerback under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Head coach Doug Pederson named him the fourth cornerback on the Eagles' depth chart to start the regular season, behind Darby, Mills, and Robinson.
Douglas was inactive for the Eagles' season-opening 30–17 victory over the Washington Redskins. During the second quarter, starting cornerback Darby dislocated his ankle, sidelining him for 4–6 weeks. In Week 2, Douglas made his professional regular season debut against the Kansas City Chiefs and finished with four solo tackles and a pass deflection in the 27–20 loss. In Week 3 against the New York Giants, Douglas earned his first career start at nickelback alongside Jalen Mills and Patrick Robinson and recorded four combined tackles (three solo), defended a pass, and had his first career interception on a pass thrown by quarterback Eli Manning to wide receiver Brandon Marshall during a 27–24 victory. In Week 6 on the road against the Carolina Panthers, Douglas made a season-high three pass break ups and also made two solo tackles and intercepted a pass by Cam Newton during a 28–33 victory. He was inactive as a healthy scratch in Week 15 as the Eagles defeated the New York Giants. He finished his rookie season with 25 combined tackles (23 solo), 11 passes defended, two interceptions in 14 games and five starts.
The Philadelphia Eagles finished first in the NFC East with a 13–3 record, clinching a first round bye. On January 13, 2018, Douglas appeared in his first career playoff game, but was limited to special teams during a 15–10 victory against the Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional Round. On February 4, 2018, Douglas appeared on special teams in Super Bowl LII during a 41–33 victory against the New England Patriots.
