description

For young, backup running backs looking to find examples of players who maximize every touch and opportunity, they need not look any further than Arizona’s Emari Demercado. A home run hitter out of the backfield — with one of the NFL’s best yards per carry (7.8) rankings as proof — the Cardinals’ third-year runner offered a noteworthy example against Seattle, torpedoing through traffic for a speedy 55-yard, near-touchdown run. The 44-22 loss to the Seahawks wasn’t ideal, but even that couldn’t damper Demercado’s first-ever 100-yard scrimmage game, as he generated a four-carry, 64-yard box score, alongside three catches for 40 yards on Nov. 9, 2025.
