Round 4 – A.J. Dillon, Boston College
Dillon brought some relevance back to Boston College, even if it was only a little. Over three seasons, Dillon totaled 4,382 yards and 39 touchdowns on the ground. Due to his performance, he was named First-team All-ACC all three years and earned a Third-team All-American nomination in 2019.
The former Eagle has a lot to offer the Patriots. Obviously, at 6-foot, 250 pounds he’s a big guy who can do a lot in short yardage. That’s something New England lacks. However, Dillon proved at BC that he can be a workhorse. If the Patriots decide they want a back who can carry the ball 300 times in a season, Dillon has done it and should be able to do it again.
