Washington Commanders’ rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt, aka Bill, gears up for his NFL debut by switching to jersey number 22.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, affectionately known as Bill, is set to make a splash in the NFL. The seventh-round rookie shocked the league as the Commanders dealt Brian Robinson Jr. just before the regular season kicked off. Croskey-Merritt, a talented running back, made a significant change to boost his readiness. While he sported No. 32 during the preseason, he opted for a younger look, choosing No. 22 for his rookie campaign. On social media, fans playfully dubbed him the ‘first 22 dollar Bill.’
Washington football history showcases greats like Mike Thomas, Carlos Rogers, and Curtis Jordan, who wore No. 22 with distinction. Darrick Forrest held the number from 2022 to 2024. Croskey-Merritt’s journey from Alabama State, New Mexico, to Arizona culminated in being picked 245th overall in the draft. Impressing in the summer, he climbed the team’s depth chart swiftly, positioning himself to share the field with Austin Ekeler.
