Overview
- The Bills, who announced the move Wednesday, signed Ben VanSumeren to bolster run blocking and special teams after Reggie Gilliam left for the Patriots.
- VanSumeren entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Eagles in 2023 and shifted from linebacker to fullback in 2024.
- He played 21 games across three seasons in Philadelphia and contributed on special teams during the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning 2024 campaign.
- His 2025 season ended on the opening kickoff with a season-ending knee injury, which limited him to one play last year.
- Buffalo also added Wisconsin fullback Jackson Acker as an undrafted free agent, creating an open competition for a role that often blends blocking on offense with core special-teams duties.
