The big-bodied back is getting the hard yards in Green Bay.
The Packers have gotten precious little from the few offensive veterans on this year’s team. David Bakhtiari played all of one game this year. Aaron Jones has played more than that, but he’s rarely been truly healthy and is currently working through yet another notable injury. Elgton Jenkins has recently regained his form but started off slowly this year.
AJ Dillon, likewise, came out of the gates a little bit slowly, but amid the Packers’ recent resurgence, he’s been one of their most reliable players.
Spectacular? No, but he’s been a steady producer on an offense where consistency has been in short supply for big swaths of the season.
Like a lot of the team, Dillon’s future is murky. In a contract year, it’s possible he’ll be in a different uniform next season. But for now, he’s grinding out the tough yards that have kept the offense ticking along during its recent resurgence.
