Snubbed: Croskey-Merritt Left Off Rookie of the Year List
Commanders rookie running back Bill Croskey-Merritt was not named a candidate for the NFL Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year award, despite winning Rookie of the Week four times during his rookie season. Doc Walker and Anthony react to the omission and call it a complete smack in the face, questioning how a player with that level of weekly recognition couldn’t even earn a nomination. They discuss what Croskey-Merritt’s production meant for the offense and why the lack of acknowledgment feels especially disrespectful.
