Professional career

Merrill was a first-round draft choice of the Toronto Rock in 2002,[1] and after four seasons with the Rock, was chosen first overall by the Boston Blazers in the 2008 expansion draft.[2] However, following the cancellation and subsequent reinstatement of the 2008 season, the Blazers, along with the Arizona Sting, announced that they would not participate in the 2008 season.[3] A dispersal draft was held, and Merrill was chosen second overall by the Titans.[4]

Merrill's brother Brodie Merrill also plays in the NLL for the San Diego Seals.

gollark: I think you would need a hilariously expensive and large free electron laser for that.
gollark: Lasers are "bright" because the output light is "compacted" into a small area.
gollark: *Fairly* sure, yes.
gollark: It's not going to be brighter unless you focus it, which you said you weren't doing.
