If there ever was a player or person made for the Green Bay Packers or the state of Wisconsin, it's AJ Dillon.

The man referred to as the mayor of Door County has loved Wisconsin — and the state has loved him back — since he was drafted by the Packers in 2020.

The Packers running back has been front and center at big-time events here after he re-signed with the team last month.

First, he joined Zach Bryan on stage wearing a cheesehead at Fiserv Forum a couple weeks ago, setting off a huge ovation.

"Get you a man who can do it all😂," his wife, Gabrielle, wrote on Instagram of Dillon singing with the country star during the concert. "I’ve seen this performance by our fire pit a million times, but this is next level."

Then on Wednesday, he was courtside for the Milwaukee Bucks game with Gabrielle. He even high-fived a group of excited kids. The Dillons also enjoyed some fine dining at the award-winning Lupi & Iris restaurant in downtown Milwaukee.

"Lupi & Iris so good," Gabrielle wrote on Instagram.

But this might not be the last time we see the Dillons at a Bucks game this season. AJ hinted at a return next week.

"Same time next week?" Dillon replied to Fiserv Forum's Instagram account that shared a photo of him and his wife. "Gotta keep it going."

The Bucks are in the midst of a five-game homestand as their regular-season ends next week.

Gabrielle grew up in Ashwaubenon and introduced AJ to Door County, where they were married two years ago.

Always the family man, AJ had his wife and his young son, Trey, with him when he signed his new contract last month.

"Back with the Pack 🧀!" he wrote on Instagram. "Proud to be here, Year 5 came quick!"

He used the hashtag "unfinishedbusiness."
