AJ Dillon taking Jamaal Williams’ carries should improve Packers’ rushing attack

The loss of running back Jamaal Williams in free agency will be a difficult pill for the Green Bay Packers to swallow for one main reason: his contributions in the passing game. Determining whether Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Kylin Hill, or someone else can contribute as a receiver and blocker will likely be job number one for running backs coach Ben Sirmans in spring practices and training camp.

But when it comes to the run game, the Packers are almost certainly adding production by subtracting Williams from the equation and giving his carries to Dillon, the second-year pro out of Boston College.
