Packers | AJ Dillon could push Packers’ running game to next level

Green Bay Packers rookie RB AJ Dillon had 845 carries during his college career, but the team isn’t concerned. ‘His structure, he’s built to last,’ said Green Bay’s Northeast region scout Mike Owen. ‘I’m good to go, as healthy as can be. I’ve had a lot of carries but it goes to show how I can handle the workload. I can be the workhorse. Everybody can know the ball is coming to me and I’ll crank out the yards,’ Dillon said. While Dillon had just 21 receptions over his past two seasons, he showed route-running and pass-catching ability at the NFL combine. Dillon wasn’t just a pick for the future, per Owen. ‘His body type and running style differ from both (Aaron) Jones’ and (Jamaal) Williams’, and his size could pay dividends in the cold or other bad-weather games … I think he’ll be a great complement to Aaron Jones and Jamaal. He can take this running game to the next level,’ Owen added.
