Packers RB A.J. Dillon trucks baseball mascot into smithereens

A summer baseball mascot in Kenosha, Wisconsin now understands what it feels like to get trucked by 247-pound running back A.J. Dillon.

First, the setup: An “Oklahoma Drill” pitting Dillon against Elvis, the mascot of the Kenosha Kingfish. Now, the predictable end result: The Packers running back trucking the poor mascot into smithereens.

At impact, Dillon lowered his shoulder and sent Elvis and his mascot headwear flying.

Here’s video of the destruction:

Here’s another angle, via Maggie Loney:

The little full contact is the perfect way for Dillon to get ready for the start of his third season. Training camp practices begin later this month, with veterans reporting to Green Bay next week. Dillon is coming off a breakout 2021 season in which he led the Packers in rushing and finished with over 1,100 yards. Don’t be surprised if he makes a few NFL tacklers look like this poor mascot in 2022.
