AJ Dillon has been turning heads so far during Green Bay Packers training camp, but it hasn’t all been due to his play. Not only is he a very talented runner, he also has a body that has been making jaws drop.
Right after training camp started, photos of Dillon’s ginormous leg muscles started going viral. To say that he never misses leg day would be an understatement. Every single day has to be leg day.
Take a look at the photos that have been going viral from Packers’ camp of Dillon’s legs for yourself:
For those who wonder what the secret to the greek god-sculpted legs that Dillon has, he was happy to speak out on the topic. Unfortunately, he didn’t have anything terribly creative to say about them.
“I can’t take complete credit for it; some of it is genetics.”
Dillon has a real chance to earn a role as a rookie with the Packers. Aaron Jones is the obvious starter, but Matt LaFleur has been looking for a strong back who can pick up consistent tough yardage. Obviously, Dillon is going to be that guy.
Last season at Boston College, Dillon put up huge numbers against stacked boxes. He carried the football 318 times for 1,685 yards and 14 touchdowns. Dillon also caught 13 passes for 195 yards and another score.
Standing in at 6-foot-0 and nearly 250 pounds, some have been comparing the Packers’ rookie to Tennessee Titans star Derrick Henry. He may not end up being that kind of player, but Dillon has the potential to be special.
Expect to see the media continue to take notice of AJ Dillon’s legs as training camp moves forward. They are certainly impressive and Packers’ fans should get excited to see him play.
