Rivers grew up in a U.S. Air Force family and lived in Ohio, England, Florida and Greece before his family moved to the San Antonio, Texas area. Rivers attended high school at Randolph High School in Randolph AFB, Texas, just outside of San Antonio.

It was also his most productive rushing year, with 282 yards on 74 carries. Rivers played in every Broncos game during that span, scoring 8 touchdowns. In 1993, Rivers was named the Denver Broncos' special teams Player of the Year. While still a player, Rivers began working for KOA radio; he also wrote a sports column in the Rocky Mountain News.
