Chandler Rivers Looking to Learn From Veteran DBs​

If you want to last in this league, you learn from the guys who already have. That's exactly the approach Chandler Rivers is taking early in his NFL career. Surrounded by experienced defensive backs, Rivers is focused on understanding what it takes to stay in the league, not just make it. When asked who he's looking forward to learning from, Rivers didn't single out one name—he pointed to the entire room.

“Yes, I would say everybody in that corners room, honestly. They have a few guys that’ve been here 10 years [or have] been in the League 10 years. So, [I want to] just see how they stuck [around], how they lasted so long. And then they’ve got some younger guys in the room like Nate Wiggins and [others]. So just getting to know [those] guys and just picking their brain on whatever I may have a question about, honestly.”

At the same time, Rivers is also looking to connect with younger teammates like Nate Wiggins, gaining insight from players who are earlier in their own careers but already established in the system.

For Rivers, the approach is simple: absorb everything. In a competitive secondary, that willingness to learn—combined with his effort on the field—could help him carve out a role sooner rather than later.
