With the Washington Commanders no longer having Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler leading the running back room, all eyes are on Jacory Croskey-Merritt. And one NFL analyst believes the seventh-round pick could be set for great things with more responsibilities on his shoulders.
The Commanders lost Ekeler to a torn Achilles tendon against the Green Bay Packers. They traded Robinson to the San Francisco 49ers for a sixth-round selection before the campaign began. Croskey-Merritt is the new No. 1 option, and there is supreme confidence in his capabilities.
Croskey-Merritt won't be a solo act.
