AJ Dillon is a running back in the NFL who currently plays for the Green Bay Packers football team. Dillon is lovingly referred to as ‘Quadzilla’ because he has big-sized quads.

Dillon then completed three years of higher education at Boston College and played on the Boston College Eagles football team. He had three amazing seasons in college rushing for 1,589, 1,108, and 1,685 yards respectively while scoring 14, 10, and 14 rushing touchdowns.
Declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft, Dillon was selected in the second round by the Green Bay Packers.
What is AJ Dillon’s Net Worth in 2024?
Dillon has an approximate net worth of $2 million to $3 million as of January 2024. Since he is still under his rookie contract, Dillon has yet to make the enormous amount of money other players make in the league. However, that should all change soon as the 2023 season was the last year of his entry-level contract.
Furthermore, he also has a couple of endorsements under his belt which aid him in increasing his overall wealth.
AJ Dillon Salary

AJ Dillon Endorsements
The Packers running back has two endorsements with whom he has signed deals. The first one is Turbo Tax and the second one is Loupe the App (Sports cards and memorabilia).
