DeJon Packer was a productive, big-play San Jose State back with touchdown upside and reliable versatility
In his 2019 season at San Jose State, DeJon Packer showed real value as a runner and receiver, finishing with 567 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns and posting a career-best 112 yards with two scores against Hawai'i. He also flashed pass-game utility, including a touchdown catch and a five-reception game versus Nevada, which suggests he was more than just a between-the-tackles grinder. The main differentiator was his knack for finishing drives and producing in high-leverage moments, making him the kind of back a staff could trust for goal-line work and steady all-purpose contributions.
