AJ Dillon Hopes To Change Perceptions
2 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon is hoping to change the perception that he isn't a strong receiving option. Teammate Aaron Jones explained that he asked Dillon why there was a narrative that he couldn't catch passes, to which the Boston College product responded, "Because they just didn't throw it to me." Dillon was efficient when he was targeted last season, hauling in 34 of 37 passes thrown his way. He added 313 receiving yards and two scores through the air, helping lead him to an RB23 finish. With the Packers' passing game depleted right now, look for Dillon to fill in as both a runner and receiver. He falls into RB3 range for Week 1.
