Noting that Jacory Croskey-Merritt added size and strength isn’t talk.
The physical difference is noticeable. Bill being more involved as a receiver in camp wasn’t an optical illusion. Even his pass protection, which spooked the staff last season, appears improved. If his development at fending off blitzers satisfies, and the game-day scoreboard lets the run game stay involved, we should see plenty of Bill’s plant-and-go elusiveness. Pass-catcher Rachaad White will have a significant role, but it’s Croskey-Merritt with a legitimate shot at being Washington’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Antonio Gibson in 2021.
