Dillon, a third-team All-American and three-time first-team All-ACC member out of Boston College, selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers . He'd spend his first four pro campaigns there—running for 2,428 yards and 16 touchdowns on 597 attempts over 60 games.
After missing the entire 2024 season due to a neck injury, Dillon joined the Philadelphia Eagles in the spring of 2025. He went on to appear in seven games for Philly, amassing 60 yards on 12 carries.
