A.J. Dillon

There is a lot of hope for A.J. Dillon’s future as a member of the Packers based on his rookie campaign. The 2020 second-round pick had a rookie season that leaves a lot of hope for Packers’ fans even if his involvement was very limited.

At 6-foot and 247 pounds it is safe to say Dillon is a big boy to bring down. And that power was on full display this season as well as a little extra agility. The future of Green Bay’s running back position had 46 carries for 242 yards (an extremely solid 5.3 yards per carry average) and two touchdowns. Dillon missed a number of games due to COVID-19, but he was the best third string running back in the NFL when available.
