‘Realistic’ RBs Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon could get 50 catches apiece
The focus on the Green Bay Packers’ plan to replace Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling has revolved around the revamped receiver corps. But part of the equation involves getting running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon more involved.
Aaron Rodgers noted Tuesday that he expects both backs to be involved more in the passing game.
“We have runs to both of them, we have swing passes to them, we have screens, we have down-the-field stuff, we have action stuff, we have scat protection, we have six-man, seven-man protection stuff,” he said via the team’s official website. “There’s a lot in the offense for those two guys.
“We’ve got to get our best 11 on the field, and it seems like those two are both in the best 11.”
Unquestionably, Jones and Dillon are two of the Packers’ top offensive weapons. Getting them on the field together would provide different matchup issues for defenses. It’s a smart play, especially as the young receivers develop and newcomers like Sammy Watkins learn the offense.
Rodgers expects an uptick for both running backs in the passing attack.
“I think 50 (catches) for both of those guys is realistic,” Rodgers said.
It is realistic. Jones caught 52 passes on 65 targets in 15 games last season. In the previous two years, he had 47 and 49 catches. Last season, Dillon proved he could be a weapon in the passing game, catching 34 of 37 targets in 17 games — after only two catches as a rookie.
The Packers are searching to replace 149 catches Adams and MVS hauled in last season. Getting Jones and Dillon a chunk of those balls is a smart plan we should expect to see out of Green Bay.
NFL Scouting Combine 2022 results: RBs, offensive linemen run 40-yard dash, compete in on-field drills
A deep running back class and the offensive linemen will be in the spotlight on the second day of the on-field workouts at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine.
The big names like Iowa State’s Breece Hall, Michigan State’s Ken Walker, and Texas A&M’s Isaiah Spiller will be put through the gamut on drills, so we’ll get a sense of how those three feature back types compare athletically. Looking forward to that.
In the trenches, we unfortunately won’t get to see Alabama’s Evan Neal run after decided to wait until his pro day on March 30 to demonstrate to everyone how much of an athletic freak he is at 337 pounds. At the podium earlier in the week, he looked like 227 pounds. No one carries that weight as well as he does.
Follow along tonight as we’ll be providing observations all evening.
Quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends competed on Thursday and if you want to catch up on what happened during Day 1 of the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine you can find that below.

Dolphins request to interview Rams RBs coach Thomas Brown
The Dolphins have put in a request for a Rams assistant coach who has some experience coaching in South Florida.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Miami would like to interview L.A. running backs coach/assistant head coach Thomas Brown for its head coaching vacancy.
Brown, 35, is in his second year as the Rams’ running backs coach. Los Angeles added assistant head coach to his duties for 2021.
Brown was a sixth-round pick out of Georgia in the 2008 draft. After he finished his short playing career in 2010, he began coaching in the college ranks. He made his way back to UGA under Mark Richt in 2015, serving as the program’s running backs coach. He went with Richt to the University of Miami in 2016 and was the program’s offensive coordinator and running backs coach through 2018. After a year as South Carolina’s running backs coach, the Rams hired him in 2020.
This is Brown’s first known interview request of the 2022 coaching cycle. The Dolphins have also requested interviews with Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Campbell, Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, and Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
