Rookie Bill Croskey-Merritt Shines Amid Commanders' Challenges

This week, Commanders running back Bill Croskey-Merritt has been nominated for the Pepsi Zero NFL Rookie of the Week award for his outstanding play in the team's Week 15 victory over the New York Giants.

Bill came through with a significant performance, running for 96 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers, as he stepped up in the absence of Chris Rodriguez due to injury. His total production against the Giants this season has been remarkable, with 178 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries, averaging 6.4 yards per carry.

This nomination highlights the potential within the team as they look to rebuild, and fans have been encouraged to cast their votes multiple times for Bill to show appreciation for the rookie 7th-round draft pick who has become a sensation in Washington.

Bill's NFL journey began with an impressive Week 1 performance against the same Giants, where he ran for 82 yards and a touchdown, winning the Rookie of the Week voting at that time. This second strong showing against the Giants further solidifies his status as a standout player despite the Commanders' overall struggles this season.
