The Packers signed Josh Jacobs and drafted Marshawn Lloyd, so Dillon has no guaranteed playing time this season. Plus, signing a one-year deal with almost no guarantees doesn’t make Dillon a sure thing this year. Still, he’s not one to forget about in the running backs room. Dillon has looked leaner this offseason, but he’s still been keeping his muscle mass. While Dillon has lacked the ability to play massive, especially last year, it’s still valuable to have someone who knows the offense as well as he does and is capable of playing in multiple roles, whether as a ball carrier, pass catcher or blocker. Those pieces will give Dillon the opportunity to carve out a role even with Jacobs and Lloyd in the mix. — Paul Bretl
