It’s been a busy week in D.C. Between the Washington Commanders’ stadium bill making progress and Terry McLaurin’s trade request, a rookie upstart continues to make some serious noise at training camp.
For Jacory Croskey-Merritt, going from a 0-star high school recruit to having the chance to make an impact in Year 1 is a unique journey. However, it's something a fellow veteran on the roster has experienced and can guide the young rookie on.
Interestingly enough, that veteran is none other than fellow running back Austin Ekeler.
Ekeler, like Croskey-Merritt, was an undersized back coming out of high school.
