Packers: Kumerow’s path to 53-man won’t’ be easy

Some of you out there are not going to enjoy reading this piece, but Jake Kumerow’s path the making the Green Bay Packers’ 53-man roster won’t be an easy one.

The local UW-Whitewater product has become a fan favorite over the last year, however, with Training Camp on the horizon, he finds himself fighting for a roster spot.

Last season the Green Bay Packers would keep seven receivers on their roster but looking ahead to the new regime led by Coach Matt LaFleur, I do not see that happening again.

In 2018, LaFleur ran with three or more receivers just 58 percent of the time, which ranked 28th in the NFL compared to the Packers’ 78 percent under former head coach Mike McCarthy.
