Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt of the Washington Commanders had the biggest impact among Arizona alums in week one in the NFL. Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan and Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop also made significant contributions among Arizona alums in the NFL.
Croskey-Merritt was second on Washington with 10 carries, led the Commanders with 82 rushing yards and scored their first rushing touchdown in a 21-6 win over the New York Giants. Four of Croskey-Merritt's runs resulted in first downs with a long of 42 yards.
Former Arizona linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles played 17 of the 23 special teams snaps for the New York Giants against Washington.
