A.J. Dillon 2020 Outlook
As Fansided.com reminded readers, HC Matt LaFleur was hired by the Packers in 2019 after spending a year as the Titans’ offensive coordinator. LaFleur's time in Tennessee may have been more impactful than we know since he got the opportunity to work with a rare physical specimen -- running back Derrick Henry. LaFleur obviously remembered the success Henry enjoyed, as the Packers surprisingly used a second-round selection on Dillon, a physical specimen with a running style very similar to Henry’s. Dillon also is a massive running back prospect with rare athletic traits for his size (including 4.53 speed in the 40). Given his impressive long speed, Dillon is not a player you want to get in front of going full speed, and he's deceptively fast in a footrace. Henry's progression over the last two seasons has made him one of the most unique offensive weapons in the NFL. Dillon has that same kind of potential, and it could wind up being amplified in the wintry elements of Green Bay. No, he doesn't figure to offer much as a receiver and he had heavy usage in college (845 carries over the past three seasons). But, he's another player Dynasty managers need to watch (especially if Aaron Jones doesn't get a contract extension).
