Entering last season, Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon were expected to be a thunder and lightning duo in the Green Bay Packers’ backfield and the pair came as advertised.
Both backs exceeded 1,000 yards from scrimmage and with the loss of Davante Adams and the influx of youth at receiver, look for more of the same in 2022. While Aaron Rodgers is breaking in the younger receivers to go with veterans Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb and Sammy Watkins, the running backs (especially Jones) will be a critical part of the offense.
There will be a renewed focus on the running game as well which means Jones should likely go over 1,000 yards on the ground alone.
