Jacory Croskey-Merritt is taking the league by storm. Washington Commanders fans were quietly expecting something special from the running back despite his seventh-round billing, and he's delivering the goods so far.
It's been a rapid rise to prominence for the No. 245 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. Croskey-Merrit burst onto the scene this summer and left no doubt regarding his status. He's taken this through to the regular season, and the Commanders are gradually increasing his workload along the way.
Croskey-Merritt had a coming-out party versus the Los Angeles Chargers, rushing for 111 yards and two touchdowns from just 14 carries.
