Dillon signed with the Spokane Shock for the 2010 Arena Football League season. However, while he was on the Packers' roster during training camp, the Shock placed him on its roster as 2010 AFL league exempt.

In early 2011, Dillon re-signed with the Spokane Shock^[1] Before the season began, Dillon was traded to the Chicago Rush. Through five games with the Rush, Dillon caught 28 passes for 358 yards and six touchdowns.^[2]
