The Washington Commanders select RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt with the 245th pick in Round 7 of the NFL Draft. Croskey-Merritt was one of the biggest Combine snubs in terms of skill-position players. He ran a 4.45 40 at 5'10, 206 pounds. Merritt's explosion workouts were off the charts too with a 41.5" Vert and 10'04 Broad at his Pro Day. A straight line runner who has the speed to hit the homerun, there is some space to find a roster spot on the Commanders roster, especially as they try to get more complete in the RB room.
