AJ Dillon’s quads have always been on the map, but the running back officially arrived last year with a big performance against the Titans last season.

On Wednesday, Dillon met with the Green Bay media during OTA’s to talk about year two. The big back should have an expanded role this year and if Aaron Rodgers was to leave the Packers, pair that with the loss of back up running back Jamaal Williams, and that may increase Dillon’s workload even more.

“That Tennessee game, I definitely look back on as I’m preparing for this year as a big confidence boost,” Dillon said Wednesday. “Now going into year two, second year knowing the offense a little bit more and hopefully expanding my role. I definitely know I can contribute, so just looking to build on top of that and have more games like that Tennessee game.”

Dillon was asked how his approach may be different entering this season than it was last year, with the obvious caveat that this will be his first “real” NFL offseason assuming all protocols and restrictions are lifted in Green Bay.

“I’d say a lot of confidence,” he said. “Last year at this point…well we didn’t have the OTA’s…but when I came in all the way up until, really like midway through the season I was constantly re-going over each play and just kind of nervous in the huddle. Do I do this? Am I doing the right things? We had no preseason or real reps before Game 1, so having those games last year, having that experience and now knowing the offense, knowing the guys around me, just trying to earn their respect and that confidence grows.”

Dillon was asked how much more confident he was in the Green Bay passing attack entering his second year, and the confidence both on his face and in his voice was hard to miss.

“I think I had maybe 15 catches in my BC career, so I wasn’t really super comfortable running routs,” Dillon acknowledged. “It wasn’t a lack of ability it was lack of opportunity, at BC that’s not what we did. I feel like constantly getting reps doing receiving routs or running from the slot, not just flats or check downs at the running back position, the more exposure I have with that the more my confidence keeps growing. There’s still work to do there, but to be an all purpose back it’s something you need in this league and for this team. I’m looking forward to meeting that criteria.”

Aaron Jones is still the top back in Green Bay and with good reason, but the idea of Jones and Dillon becoming a 1-2 punch should scare the crap out of the rest of the NFC North.

“I feel like we can be the best running back tandem in the NFL,” said Dillon. “You look at us and see thunder and lightning and we absolutely are, but the lightning guy Aaron can also grind out some yards and the thunder guy myself, I’d like to say I can still beat some guys running away from them. I feel like we both have our strengths but the entire running back room is full of capable guys that can do it all.”

The whole world has watched as Aaron Rodgers pretty much holds the Green Bay franchise hostage. As just a second year guy, Dillon doesn’t really have much to say on the matter, but acknowledged it’s all about taking things one day at a time.

“That’s not something so much for me to comment on, but no matter what, when we’re out there on the field or we’re out at practice it’s always a one play at a time mentality,” he said. “For myself, I can’t speak for anybody else. I’m just focused on getting better and trying to bring that over into my every day. How can I make the team better, how can I put us in the best position. Everything else I’ve just got to have blinders on because it’s out of my control.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be a full day without quad questions, and Dillon’s quads have been back in the NFL Twittersphere as of late. He talked about the idea of forming possibly the greatest faction in North American sports since the NWO.

“I put out a tweet saying maybe we could have the “Quad Squad,” Dillon said when asked if there is a competition between he and other running backs in the league when it comes to who has the biggest legs. “But, if there is a competition, then you can put it down that mine are the biggest, no big deal.”

Dillon has officially accepted the “Quad Father” as his nickname, but he may be getting recognized for a lot more than that this season if the Packers and Dillon have their way.
