Eboracum: On offense, look for both young RBs Jacory Crosky-Merritt (he goes by Bill Merritt) and Chris Rodriguez Jr. Bill is a 7th-round rookie who fell in the draft due to an eligibility issue that forced him to sit most of his final season of college football, but his talent level is much higher than a typical 7th-round pick. C-Rod was a 6th-round pick in the 2023 draft who primarily served as a short-yardage specialist in the previous two seasons, but spent the offseason dropping weight and improving his speed and has looked far more explosive this preseason. I expect them to form a pretty even committee along with Austin Ekeler, who is primarily used on 3rd downs.
On defense, look for CB Trey Amos. He was our 2nd-round pick in this year’s draft and the reports of his play out of training camp have been glowing. He looked great in limited preseason action too, so we’re hoping that if Marshon Lattimore is back to form, the CB trio of Amos, Lattimore, and Sainristil (in the slot) should create a much stronger secondary than we had last year.
