Packers RB AJ Dillon named on NFLPA’s Rising Stars list

Last week, the NFL Players Association released a list of ten rookies and ten veterans that they expect to gain traction in fan support in the upcoming football season. Among them was “veteran” Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon, who led the team in rushing yards last season.

The full veteran list:

  1. AJ Dillon, RB, Green Bay Packers

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the list, based on projecting changes in popularity, features nine offensive skill players. 2021’s docket, which featured another Green Bay Packers running back in Aaron Jones, actually had offensive skill players named to every spot on the list.
