The Bills have a very selfless team that roots for one another and puts the team before the individual. Standing tall at 6-foot-4, Kumerow can line up all over the field on offense and is a key contributor on special teams. A big reason why Kumerow fits in so well in Buffalo is that he’s a versatile player that can do a lot to help the team succeed.
“The way that Coach Dabs (Daboll) has the offense drawn up, I like to be able to help them out in any way possible,” Kumerow said. “Whether it’s being an outside guy, an inside guy, being able to make blocks, being down the line of scrimmage making blocks, and also special teams. Being able to not only fit in on the offense but fit in there, be able to make plays and help us out give us good field position, and just be an all-around player so I love it here.”
Through two preseason games, Kumerow has caught two passes for 20 yards and one touchdown. He has caught the attention of the coaches, his teammates, and the fans with some of the plays he has made in camp. One player on the Bills defense who has had to cover Kumerow a lot during camp is Dane Jackson. Jackson has made some solid defensive plays while covering Kumerow in practice and the corner noted that there is one that that’s deceiving about him.
“He’s like an all-around good receiver in every aspect: blocking, catching, and running after the catch,” Jackson said. “He just sneaks up on you really. You don’t really see it off the rip, but when he’s out there running it’s like crazy. He can run, he can catch, and he can do it all. His size is deceiving. You don’t think bigger guys are fast but he’s really fast.”
For Kumerow, this Saturday’s preseason game is a bit of a reunion as the Green Bay Packers come to town. Kumerow was a member of the Packers from 2017-2019 and was a favorite target of Aaron Rodgers. In 19 games for Green Bay, Kumerow had 20 receptions for 322 yards and two touchdowns. Kumerow is eager to showcase his skills in the preseason finale and seeing old friends is just icing on the cake.
“Yeah, I’m excited, it will be cool to see some of the guys I know, some familiar faces,” Kumerow said. “I’m looking forward to it. Also, it’s the next game so I’m going to be excited, no matter what. Just because it’s Green Bay it will be good to bump those guys around a little bit.”
