"It's been a rags-to-riches story so far for Jacory Croskey-Merritt. When most prospects would have accepted their fate and potentially thrown in the towel, the Washington Commanders running back proved that he is made of sterner stuff. Everything happens for a reason. Croskey-Merritt may not have liked it at the time, but he ended up in the right place. And there was enough inner fire within to make his presence felt when most didn't believe in his capabilities."
"Basically, I missed my whole senior year. While I was at Arizona, I was able to play one game, but after playing one game, you know, I still just stuck around, did scout team, you know, help our guys get better, and, of course, work on myself. I fell to the seventh round, but I feel like that was definitely a blessing for me."
