Commanders Draft RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Fourth UA Player Selected
The Washington Commanders selected running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt with the 245th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Croskey-Merritt, previously at Alabama State and New Mexico, played just one game for Arizona due to eligibility issues but impressed scouts by rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown in that appearance. His draft stock improved significantly after earning Offensive MVP honors at the East-West Shrine Bowl, where he rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns. He also showcased his athleticism at the Big 12 Pro Day, posting the fastest 40-yard dash and highest vertical among running backs. Analysts note his impressive cut quickness and burst, suggesting he could be a quality rotational back, though his age and limited college exposure may cap his upside. Croskey-Merritt is the fourth Arizona player drafted in 2025, marking the school's most NFL selections in a single draft since 2008.
