“2022 Rising Stars” by the NFL Players Association.
The NFLPA splits up the list into two sections: rookies and veterans. Dillon, a second-round pick entering Year 3 in 2022, came in at No. 8 on the veterans list.
Dillon rushed for a team-high 803 yards and scored seven total touchdowns during a breakout second season in 2021. He’ll likely get even more touches as a sidekick to Aaron Jones in the Packers offense in 2022.
How does a player make the list? The NFLPA thinks Dillon is “poised to have an instant impact on consumer sales and ultimately rank on the NFLPA Top 50 Players Sales lists in the new season,” per a press release.
