Over the last four games, the Green Bay Packers run game has gotten a much-needed boost from the elevated play of AJ Dillon.
Dillon is coming off a down 2022 season. A big area of emphasis for him over the summer was to make sure that he is consistently playing with a low pad level, using his size to his advantage, and finishing runs. Rather than trying to play perfect, as Dillon said prior to the season, he wanted to be dominant.
Along with focusing on his pad level, running backs coach Ben Sirmans also wanted Dillon to focus on running more free, and letting his natural abilities take over, rather than overthinking.
