GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – Former Packers running back A.J. Dillon is saying goodbye to Packers fans and the city of Green Bay.
In a heartfelt post on X, the 2020 second-round pick who was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles last week as a free agent said, “I want to take a moment to thank the entire Green Bay Packers organization, my teammates, and the incredible fans for an unforgettable five years. Wisconsin became so much more than just the place I played football—it became home. It’s where I grew up, started my family, and made memories I’ll cherish forever.”
“It was an honor to wear the “G” and represent such a special organization. I’m grateful for the relationships built, the lessons learned, and the unwavering support from Packers fans everywhere. You embraced me and my family from day one, and we are forever grateful,” Dillon continued.
During his time with the Packers, Dillon and his wife Gabrielle started the Dillon Family Foundation, which focused on hunger relief in Green Bay and communities statewide. Dillon said in the statement that the foundation will continue to operate and help those in need in Wisconsin.
Dillon totaled 597 carries for 2,428 yards with 16 touchdowns and also caught 86 passes for 763 yards and 2 touchdowns over his four-year career with the Packers.
