2. AJ Dillon, Boston College

AJ Dillon was an All-ACC back in 2018, with 1,108 yards and ten touchdowns. These numbers came despite missing two games with injury, and a bowl game being cancelled due to weather.

If he’s healthy and all of the Eagles’ games are played to completion in 2019, his numbers could jump exponentially.

The offensive line in front of Dillon has shuffled around a bit, but it is still an experienced unit. Three of the five are upperclassmen, and there is only one freshman starter.

Boston College’s schedule features several low-end rush defenses. Facing defenses like Kansas, Rutgers, Richmond and Louisville, Dillon will have plenty of opportunities to load up the stat sheet.
