The Montreal Alouettes signed former New Jersey Generals defensive back David Rivers III on Wednesday. David Rivers III is six foot and weighs 185 pounds. The 28-year-old from Miami, Florida, made 16 tackles and three pass breakups in nine games for the Generals in 2022.
David Rivers III signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2017 before being released. Shortly after his release, he signed with the New York Jets and later the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played three regular season games for Tampa Bay in a span of two seasons.
