3rdand12 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I caught this note at the end of BN article called " what we learned"I believe it was referencing Day Eight : )Here is the bit i want to focus upon. 7. Practice starts off on a special note. The Bills signed running back Garett Rumfola to a one-day contract before practice. Rumfola participates in the Stone's Buddies program, which is designed to provide support for chronically ill patients at the Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo. Rumfola addressed the team before practice as an honorary captain, and then on the first play took a handoff from Taylor in for a touchdown as the team swarmed him in congratulations. Being a soft hearted caring person i am delighted ! Now i will add the full article so you folks can see the picture. http://buffalonews.com/2017/08/04/learned-bills-camp-day-eight/ Go Bills !

Augie Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 That is awesome, and I'm willing to bet it was a sincere, caring gesture. (Not some Blow Hard looking for a little face time and good publicity.) This kind of thing is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Rumfola addressed the team before practice as an honorary captain, and then on the first play took a handoff from Taylor in for a touchdown as the team swarmed him in congratulations. Great. Now he'll sit out the rest of camp demanding more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
