Ex-Georgia DE, Last Chance U’s Chauncey Rivers signs UDFA deal

Ex Georgia football player Chauncey Rivers, known for his appearance on Netflix’s Last Chance U, has signed an undrafted free agent deal.

Ex-Georgia defensive lineman Chauncey Rivers, a 4-star recruit in the class of 2015 out of Stone Mountain, has signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Baltimore Ravens.

After being arrested on marijuana charges for the third time in seven months, Rivers was dismissed from the Georgia program in May of his freshman year.

He transferred to East Mississippi Community College, where he was featured on season two of Netflix’s Last Chance U and played under coach Buddy Stephens.

After his time at EMCC, he transferred to Mississippi State. Rivers sat out the 2017 season due to being academically ineligible. In 2018 at Mississippi State, Rivers played in all 13 games for the Bulldogs.

In 2019, Rivers started every game at defensive end.

TEAM NEEDS

Linebacker/Edge Rusher

The Ravens need to add multiple pieces along the second level, particularly guys who can serve multiple roles. This draft class has several exceptional edge rushers who are also adept at sliding inside or dropping into coverage.

Wide Receiver

The Ravens have one of the most explosive offenses in the league. But there is always room in a very deep draft to add another playmaker for quarterback Lamar Jackson. The Ravens have plenty of speed on the outside so they could look for a big physical target in the passing game.

Interior Offensive Line

There might not be a player in this draft who can replace Marshal Yanda. But Baltimore will try. In fact they might opt for a couple of interior offensive linemen in this draft just to hedge their bets. There are some strong run blockers in this draft class and this is exactly what the Ravens need.
