Overview

  • Ronnie Rivers, an undrafted free agent from Fresno State, has been with the Rams for three seasons and agreed to a one-year contract extension.
  • Rivers played primarily on special teams, contributing to kickoff and punt coverage units, while also serving as the team's third running back in 2024.
  • Last season, Rivers recorded 99 rushing yards on 22 carries and added 34 receiving yards on five catches.
  • The Rams' running back group remains stable, with Kyren Williams and Blake Corum continuing as the top two options heading into the 2025 season.
