The Packers got another rookie under contract, a guy who should create some interesting competition. Running back A.J. Dillon just tweeted out a photo of himself signing his rookie deal with the Packers. The second-rounder from Boston College ran for 1,685 yards and 14 touchdowns last year, capping a three-year college career in which he [more]

Let's go! 2,000 yards rushing for Packers in 2020, or 2021, whenever they decide to lace them up.

Agreed, I'm excited about this player too. Only thing I'm dissapointed by is that this might be Aaron Jones replacement. Considering Williams + Jones are free agents next off season, I think the Packers will not be able to afford what Jones will look in the market versus Williams might take a home discount.

A lot of people weren't happy with this pick but I loved it. Let's not forget the running backs Lafleur has worked in the past.

2015 - Atlanta Falcons - Devonta Freeman
2017 - Rams - Todd Gurley
2018 - Titans - Derrick Henry


Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

Normally, I don't put much stock into ProFootballFocus, but that's gonna change for this one post because of this one tweet.

I hope he pans out. All the hype....will it show up on the field?
Fortunately we have Aaron Jones, so it’s not like we don’t have a good RB.

The stat I was most impressed with (and I can't find it it picture form right now) is his percentage of runs with a stalked box in all of college football, I believe it 75% higher than Wisconsin Taylor who was in second. I believe Dillion was 44% and Taylor was around 25%.

But I think these will do


I don't think he'll be able to shake or out run guys nearly as easily in the pros, as he's not elite quickness or speed, but he's good enough at both and this scheme will find him ways to get him on one on ones, which he really didn't get as many as.other RBs,as they kept stacking the box against him, with a better passing attack, they can't do that.
