With Josh Jacobs, AJ Dillon, and even Emanuel Wilson, the Green Bay Packers have constructed a bigger and more physical backfield at the running back position this offseason.
At the NFL Combine, GM Brian Gutekunst mentioned wanting a “bigger back” on the roster at running back, specifically for short-yardage situations, colder weather, and for closing out games.
At 6-0 and 247 pounds, Dillon certainly fits that mold, and we’ve oftentimes seen the value that size of his brings during the latter portion of the season when the temperature in Green Bay drops.
