A.J. Dillon Out To Earn RB2 Role
3 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon is out to prove that he deserves to be the team's RB2 when camp breaks. After Jamaal Williams left the team in the offseason via free agency, the backup role behind Aaron Jones needs to be filled. Enter Dillon, a player that has running backs coach Ben Sirmans intrigued. "The biggest thing I've seen with him is just his overall knowledge of football. I think with him, he's one of those guys that there's a difference when you get to a game situation in comparison to practice. I think everything just turns up a little more for him. He knows and understands that Jamaal's not here anymore and there's going to be a heavier dependence on him to perform." Dillon should continue to see plenty of reps in the preseason.
