Fresno State football’s all-time touchdown leader Ronnie Rivers made his NFL debut Sunday with the Los Angeles Rams..
The 23-year-old running back had an efficient one carry and one reception for a total of 14 yards in a 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers.
While only receiving minimal playing time, Rivers’ debut was a testament to his already storied journey through professional football.
Despite being projected as a late-round draft pick, Rivers went undrafted in the 2022 draft. However, he was picked up shortly after the draft by the Arizona Cardinals.
Earning a spot on the practice squad, Rivers spent the summer with the Cardinals before being released in early August.
