Professional Football
In 2005, Dumas played for the Albany Conquest in the AF2 arena football league. He had success as a two-way player for Albany playing at fullback on offense and linebacker on defense. Sports Illustrated pointed to Dumas as one of the AF2 players who "can recite a saga that purports to explain why he's playing in this quirky indoor league that's at least a Hail Mary from the NFL." The magazine noted that Dumas "was a star at Syracuse before blowing out his left knee." An earlier account on Dumas noted: "His speed is his greatest asset, and the injuries robbed him of it." In 2006, he was signed by the Rhein Fire of the NFL Europa. He played for the Rhein Fire in 2006 and for the Berlin Thunder in 2007.
