A.J. Dillon Looking More Comfortable In Year Two
3 years agoGreen Bay Packers second-year running back A.J. Dillon appears to be more comfortable in year two according to his backfield mate Aaron Jones. Jones also mentioned that Dillon "worked a lot on his hands during the off-season." Dillon's skillset will always be that of a power back at 6-foot 247 pounds, but improving as a receiver could allow him to play a bigger role than anticipated, especially after the departure of Jamaal Williams to the Detroit Lions in the offseason. Dillon is a player that should be monitored closely as camp progresses, and there's a real chance that he sees goal-line work in 2021 due to his size advantage. Right now Dillon projects as a high-end RB4, but he has RB3 upside behind Aaron Jones and RB1/2 upside if Aaron Jones were to go down with an injury at any point in the season.
