The Washington Commanders are focusing on increased urgency and competition for the 2025 season. After exceeding expectations in their first season under head coach Dan Quinn, the team aims to maintain momentum. This involves giving everyone a fresh start, holding players accountable. Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt, overlooked in the draft, is poised to push veteran players in training camp and prove his worth. The Commanders have uncertainties in their running back lineup, making Croskey-Merritt's potential contributions significant as he seeks immediate playing time.
Competition breeds success. Complacency breeds failure. That's the way it is in life and football, regardless of job title or status.
Everyone gets a clean slate. Everyone must prove themselves all over again. Anyone not pulling their weight or basking in the glory of previous accomplishments is going to get found out quickly.
Croskey-Merritt had to wait a long time before the Commanders took him at No. 245 overall. He already had a massive chip on his shoulder.
The Commanders believe they've found a legitimate steal on their hands in Croskey-Merritt.
