AJ Dillon’s explosive freshman season put him on the map at Boston College. It also put him on the radar of the NFL team that would draft him three years later.

The Green Bay Packers selected Dillon with the 62nd overall pick Friday night, and Packers scout Mike Owen said he knew from the first time he saw Dillon that he was a player to keep tabs on.

Owen, a former tight end at Syracuse, had a connection to BC.
