2025 NFL Draft: Five prospects who stood out in East-West Shrine Bowl

Excerpt:

Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB, Arizona​

Croskey-Merritt (5-10 1/2, 206) had to be hungry for a big Shrine Bowl after missing all but one game during the 2024 season due to injury, and he ate for 97 yards and two scores on 11 carries. He pressed the line hard and ran tough through tackles but also got outside and found a second gear. Even when getting hit at the line, Croskey-Merritt spun out of contact or lowered his pads and churned his legs to gain a few yards. His first score came on a hesitation move, with the back freezing and stiff-arming LSU LB Greg Penn III in the open field before running to the corner. It was an eye-opening effort for teams in the market to pick a running back on Day 3 of the draft.

Shrine Bowl MVP RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, an early Day 3 target, has six top-30 visits, per source.

He’s already visited the #Patriots, #Vikings, and #Chiefs. Still to come: The #Commanders and two others.

Eric Galko
Jacory Croskey-Merritt had the highest Max deceleration EVER on offense since the Shrine Bowl partnered with @ZebraSports (-7.29 yds/sec squared)

His ability to stop, cut and redirect is special, and he showed it throughout the @ShrineBowl game ()

Lance Zierlein
Arizona RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt may have played in just one regular season game (due to eligibility concerns) and the Shrine Game but he shined in both, has a good season of tape from 2023 to watch and just ran a 4.45 and jumped 41" at the Big 12 Combine. He is not a secret.

Tyrone Tracy has some of the best start/stop tracking data at the RB position here, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt absolutely buries him!

(also shoutout Corey Kiner elite deceleration)
