LaFleur said he left the stadium yesterday wishing he had given the ball to RB AJ Dillon more than 12 times. He said his receiving talent has been evident and they feel confident in his skills in that aspect of the game. (Tom Silverstein on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: It wasn’t too long ago that many mocked Dillon for being a zero in the passing game, primarily relying on his lack of usage as a receiver during his days at Boston College.
