The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon to a one-year contract, enhancing their already potent rushing attack. Dillon, known for his impressive frame and previously earned nicknames like 'The Quadfather', joins a backfield that was ranked second in rushing yards during the 2024 season. After a season lost to a neck injury, Dillon aims to reclaim his place and fill the gap left by Kenneth Gainwell's departure to the Steelers.

Despite his prior success, including a standout performance with 124 rushing yards in his rookie season, Dillon has struggled to replicate that level of performance, not reaching the 100-yard mark in the subsequent seasons. His career totals currently include 2,428 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns over 60 games. With the Eagles' rushing success largely attributed to Saquon Barkley, Dillon's integration will be crucial in maintaining their offensive momentum.
