Sorry to inform you but it was over last year.

Tell that to the Packers.

They never listen to me. Damn them.

There were already rumors the Packers were going to move Dillon to fullback.

You should - you can get him cheaper now
Yeah but hurry up and wait time

The best things in life come to those who wait
Another bittersweet moment for the fandom though (at least for me). He never lived up to the draft capital or what we hoped, but I think he has been a great ambassador to the city and really embraced his time. One of those I really hate to see go from a person perspective but, yes, the football player time has come.

That doesn't apply to Gen Z'ers.

Agreed. Z'ers are anxious to fix all the boomer mistakes.

Pretty bad at it too.

"would like to get him out there"
"skill set that's different"
"get him the ball in space"
"explosive element"
Translation: 21 carries for 93 yards and a TD, 4 receptions on 6 targets for 38 yards in 2024.

First glimpse of MarShawn Lloyd at Packers camp. Llyod has a tremendous opportunity with Aaron Jones off to Minnesota and Josh Jacobs just looking off last year, to gain touches early. AJ Dillon will still be in the mix but man was he underwhelming last year average a career low 3.4 YPC. To note, Jacobs only averaged 3.5 last year.
Accord to Jeremy Fowler the Packers “see shades of Aaron Jones” in MarShawn Lloyd. He explains that it’s due to his rushing and pass catching ability. He goes on to say the plan is to “get him acclimated pretty early, try to use him a lot.”
OC Adam Stenavich wants to get MarShawn Lloyd on the field “as much as possible. He’s got a skill set that’s a little bit different than AJ’s, as far as his speed… It’ll be nice to get him the ball in space and just see what he can do, ‘cause I think he’s gonna add a good explosive element (v) to the offense, for sure.”
Andy Herman notes that Dimitri Stanley put together a really good rookie camp as a try out. He played well while in the slot and made a really nice one handed catch.

Big question is how many times he fumbles and how many is too many for the coaching staff.
Big Nate

It is an issue he needs to fix. Hopefully he can. Nothing gets you benched quicker than continued fumbles.

I know nothing, but I feel like fumbles is a somewhat random thing. And where there is a reason, seems like it should be fixable. But I don't know. I guess in some sense, every bit of ability you devote to not-fumbling is a bit of ability not devoted to the actual speed/agility part, and it may be hard mentally in the milliseconds of decision-making during a play to not get greedy for yards and sloppy with handling.
