Learn more about this pick from Scout.com team and draft experts! Player Keith Rivers, MLB, USC Team Cincinnati Bengals Pick Round 1, Selection 9 (9 Overall) Stats Ht: 6-3   Wt: 237   40: 4.60   Adam Caplan's Take The multi-talented linebacker will likely line up at WLB replacing Landon Johnson who signed with the Carolina Panthers. Rivers not only is a good tackler but he can be moved around the defense to create havoc on opposing offenses. If Cincinnati can get MLB Ahmad Brooks back healthy, they could start to build a really nice group of young linebackers. Exclusive Scouting Report Instant scouting report!
