The city of Montgomery, Alabama now celebrates Jacory Croskey-Merritt Day on May 8.
The former Arizona running back, who was drafted by the Washington Commanders, is from Montgomery.
Still can’t wipe the smile off William’s face! Today, he met Lanier alum & now @Commanders@JacoryMerritt15 at Shock Performance Training! 🏈🔥 Jacory was so inspiring, kind, gave great advice, & made William feel like a champ. What a moment!! #WashingtonCommanders#Commanders
