AJ Dillon Is Already Impressive

In Wisconsin, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is known as “the freak” due to his incredible size, wingspan, and athleticism. If the Green Bay Packers had their own version of Antetokounmpo, it might be running back AJ Dillon. The rookie has yet to play his first NFL snap, but coaches and teammates are excited about the possibilities surrounding Dillon.

“It’s just like bionic,” Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard said of Dillon’s size in a video chat with Bleacher Report’s Adam Lefkoe. “His quads are like Saquon’s (Barkley). He’s 250 (pounds).”

While 250 lbs. is pretty big for a running back, Lazard says Dillon carries his weight well from what he’s seen in workouts.
