Back in 2017 the New England Patriots used a third round pick, their 83rd overall selection, on Youngstown State defensive end Derek Rivers. When he was selected Jack Easterby hugged him, and eventually performed his wedding ceremony for him. He was a player that Nick Caserio worked to select back in 2017, and now he is a Houston Texan.
A torn his ACL in joint practices against the Texans cost him his 2017 season, and an injury took away his 2019 season well. He eventually was released by the New England Patriots this season, and was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Rams.
