Dillon Johnson is a Pass-Catching Back for Mississippi State. Dillon's 2021 season ranks in the 0th percentile nationally by opponent-adjusted EPA per play across 142 plays — a developing rate for the RB.
Third-down weapon out of the backfield. Routes, hands, and separation in coverage define this role as much as rushing.
Meaningful starter. Local collective + position-group deals.
