Rams Re-sign Ronnie Rivers for Special Teams Depth

0:00On March 25th, the Los Angeles Rams have brought back running back Ronnie Rivers on a one-year deal. The 27-year-old is heading into his fifth season with the team after joining as an undrafted free agent back in 2022. Last year, Rivers saw limited action on offense with just 46 rushing yards over 19 snaps. He spent most of his time on special teams though, racking up 248 snaps in 2024 and 91 the next year, plus A. Career best 16 kickoff returns for 418 yards. He's now part of a crowded backfield led by hiring Williams and Blake Corm. That group also includes depth options like Jarkez Hunter and Jordan Waters giving the Rams solid options across the board. Team insiders see Rivers as more than just the backup. His experience can make him a clubhouse leader while stepping back into the kickoff return role next season. This signing helps lock in reliable special teams depth as the Rams gear up for another run.
