Merritt is a Louisiana native who attended Destrehan High School and signed with the Saints last year. In 2022 preseason, he recorded six receptions for 40 yards for one TD and returned two kickoffs for 84 yards. He previously played at wide receiver but made the move to running back during the offseason. Merritt was inactive for Monday night's game against the Carolina Panthers.
