If Buffalo wants Frank Gore 2.0, AJ Dillon might have the best chance of becoming just that. At 6-foot, 247 pounds, that’s not going to be an easy back to bring to the ground for anyone. Having said that, you’ll already know he’s going to use some big pop to knock defenders off of him. He’ll get dirty yards and help his future team break the goal line plenty. Dillon notched 39 total college touchdowns.

While Dillon did have a 4.53 40-yard dash time, his potential elusiveness at the next level will naturally be in question. He also will need to improve as a pass catcher to keep defenses on their toes as well.
