Bill Croskey-Merritt was drafted by the Washington Commanders in the 7th round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Since the selection, the former Arizona running back has received nothing but positive press for his vision, burst, and cut quickness. Draft Network discussed his skill set in a pre-draft profile:
He’s a scheme-versatile back who shows good patience behind the line of scrimmage to locate cutback lanes and follow his blockers when pulling into space. Croskey-Merritt looks to get downhill in a hurry when he can, and while his speed is more build-up than explosive, he hits it with authority when the gap is open.
