if the Giants had the 9th pick in the NFL draft that year, and picked him? Initially, it probably would have been, finally, a linebacker picked in the first round, top 10 no less.......and then, pffffffft!
I would bet big money that the hit by ward scared rivers from contact and thats why he never was the same. Prior to that hit he was one of then best up and coming linebackers in the league.

Youtube says that hit was early in October 2008. Rivers got drafted in 2008. Can you really be one of the best up and coming LBs in 5 weeks?

Keith Rivers began his rookie season with 10 tackles against the Baltimore Ravens. In the following game against the Tennessee Titans, Rivers totaled 8 tackles. Against the New York Giants, Rivers recorded two tackles, while against the Cleveland Browns Rivers defensive production totaled 8 tackles. Rivers' rookie season was abruptly ended due to a shattered jaw suffered by a blindside block by Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward in Week 7, where Ward used his helmet to strike an unexpecting Rivers full-force in the chinstrap. That action and the season-ending injury that resulted led to the NFL instituting the "Hines Ward Rule" [10] after the season, whereby it would henceforth be illegal for blockers to land a blindside block using their helmet, forearm or shoulder, to strike at the head or neck area of a defender.
Despite missing the final nine games, Rivers finished his rookie season with 37 tackles, one interception, and a forced fumble. Rivers received the only vote for 2008 Defensive Rookie of the Year that didn't go to winner Jerod Mayo.[11]
