Ranking the NFC North rooms: Running backs
2. Green Bay Packers
Aaron Jones, A.J. Dillon, Jamaal Williams, Dexter Williams
Aaron Jones had an unbelievable 2019 season and started his ascension to being one of the highest regarded running backs in the NFL. Now, the Packers have to work out his contract. However, fortunately for this list, we are looking just at the 2020 season. With that in mind, his name power as it is may be enough to give them this high of a ranking in the division.
However, speaking of running backs who have higher draft slots than David Montgomery, A.J. Dillon went 11 spots ahead of him as well.
Beyond that, Dillon graduated with 4,382 yards on 5.2 yards per carry at Boston College. Montgomery posted 2,925 yards in his career on 4.7 yards per carry at Iowa State. Lastly, Dillon is more athletic.
Bears fans may not want to hear it, but the Packers running back may have been a better prospect than the guy the Bears traded up for a year prior.
Jamaal Williams has done well in goal line situations, and the Bears looked into Dexter Williams before drafting Montgomery before him in the same draft. Still, that depth is more sufficient than Chicago as well.
