AJ Dillon barely saw playing time during his rookie season as the Green Bay Packers stuck with their proven running back duo of Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams for the majority of the year. The two RBs combined for over 1,600 rushing yards in the regular season to go along with 11 combined rushing touchdowns. Dillon on the other hand, had just 24 carries through the first 14 weeks of the season, and missed 5 games on the Covid Inactive list. Not what the Packers were hoping for from their second round draft choice.
The early thoughts of many Packer fans was that the Packers wasted that second round pick on a running back the team had no need for.
