Lack of Bengals respect on full display on this one. If he played the exact same career for a more popular team, he would have already been in. Or a slightly more successful one.

EDIT: Talk about changes of time. In 2004 when Dillon rushed for 1600+ yards with the Patriots, there were 5 guys who rushed for 1,500+ yards that year, and 8 who rushed for 1,300+ yards. Compared to 2018 when those numbers were 0 and 2, and 2019 where those numbers were 1 and 4.  

9 guys in 2004 had 300+ carries, 7 with 330+ carries. Where did all the durability go in football players? The last 5 years combined, only 6 guys have had 300+ carries, 0 with 330+ carries.

Here's the kicker..  Dillon only averaged a combined 286 touches/season.
