Jacory Croskey-Merritt Ready to Dominate | Washington Commanders News

0:00On September 3rd, the Washington Commanders running game has been a bit of a question mark, but all eyes are on Jekori Kroski-Marit. This second year player is looking to step up big time, especially after showing flashes of brilliance last season. He's the guy they're leaning on, and he's been working hard to get ready for the opener. He didn't play in the preseason games, but he's back on the practice field now. The coaches are easing him back in, focusing on conditioning and getting him prepped for week one against the Eagles. They know he's got the talent, and they're confident he's in a good place to contribute. Last year, Kroski-Marit put up 805 rushing yards in eight touchdowns. He's got this incredible vision on the field, spotting openings that other backs might miss. Remember that 72 yard touchdown run against the Cowboys on Christmas Day? That showed off his speed and ability to break away. Now, he's set to be the main guy in the backfield. He's a true North and South runner, and with the offense looking to run the ball more, they'll have plenty of chances to prove he's the real deal.

White, who was more of a pass-catching back in Tampa, will get a chance to show his versatility in this new offense, which is expected to use a lot of. Play action and movement.
