Packers: Davante Adams shouting out Jake Kumerow will warm fans’ hearts

Sometimes friendships go beyond the team someone plays for. 

Jake Kumerow never was a superstar for the Green Bay Packers when he played there during his three seasons. He actually was hardly used, bouncing up and down from a practice squad to the active roster.

Fans though became infatuated with the Wisconsin-Whitewater alum for his passion and grit during the team’s preseason. More than that, Kumerow developed a quiet bond with the receivers inside the locker room. particularly Davante Adams.

On Saturday night, Adams gave support to his former teammate.

Kumerow, now a member of the Buffalo Bills, made a stellar 22-yard touchdown grab during the closing minutes of the first half from Josh Allen. It became his first catch of the season and the third touchdown in his career.

Needless to say, Adams warmed the hearts of Packers fans everywhere across the country.

Kumerow still loved by Packers fans

By a look at the responses from social media, Green Bay fans still love the Kumerow storyline. Much like Adam Thielen, the 28-year-old returned close to home and all but walked on to the professional team up the road from where he grew up.

He ultimately earned the respect of Green Bay fans.

Unlike Thielen, Kumerow never transformed into a 1,000-yard receiver for the hometown club. Still, he remains in the NFL on practice squads and once again made the most of his time on an active roster.
