Patriots rookie DE Derek Rivers is not only hoping to carve out a role in the team’s defense this but also “exceed” in that role.
“I want to play, obviously,” Rivers said, via Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal. “I definitely want to play, but I want to help. I want to get into my role and exceed at my role whatever that maybe. That’s what I want to do. I want to exceed in my role. I’m a competitor, and I want to win.”
