When Jamaal Williams joined the Detroit Lions last year, it opened many doors to AJ Dillon. The running back had a big jump in 2022, playing in all 17 games as opposed to only 11 in his rookie year.
In his first year, Dillon had 242 rushing yards and found the end zone twice. His numbers skyrocketed in 2021, rushing for 803 yards and five touchdowns while also starting in two contests. He also scored the team’s only touchdown of the postseason in the divisional round loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Green Bay Packers’ second-round pick in 2020, Dillon has the chance of increasing his number even more after the team lost Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
