GREEN BAY - Second-round pick AJ Dillon has played 15 snaps through the first four games of his NFL career, carrying the ball eight times for 34 yards (4.3 average). They’ve come, however, thanks to some fourth-quarter leads the Packers have played with against Minnesota, Detroit and Atlanta. He did not play in the 37-30 victory at New Orleans.
Head coach Matt LaFleur has said he wants to give Dillon the ball more, and running backs coach Ben Sirmans said the 6-foot, 247-pounder is prepared for it.
“I know he's ready,” Sirmans said. “It's just more of a product of those other two guys, sometimes based on what we're doing schematically, can fit in a little bit better than what he can.
