Anybody here remember Dick Bass? The Scooter?
Rivers is not only built like Bass, 5'9" and around 200 pounds with lower body power, but also runs like him. Stop-start, hesitate-and-go moves, and one step into acceleration mode. Sees holes. Just enough jukes to be elusive. Quick feet. Good spin move to elude near-tackles in open field. That's evident in Rivers' college tape.
You'll see that spin move from Bass, and some fun stuff from other Rams in this link:

I watched Bass when he first came to the Rams and shared the backfield with Jon Arnett.
Crazy-good luck for this kid to come on the team just a few days ago and get into the next game, and get14 yards on one touch coming from a swing pass out of the backfield that makes the highlight reel. I won't let my hopes get too high, but I wish him well and will be pulling for him. He came to play football, and he's fun to watch.
