Who is Reggie Rivers?

Reggie Rivers is a professional broadcaster and motivational speaker working in Denver, Colorado. From 1991 to 1996, Rivers was a professional American football player who played running back for the Denver Broncos. Rivers played in every Broncos game during that span, scoring 8 touchdowns. In 1993, Rivers was named the Denver Broncos' special teams Player of the Year. While still a player, Rivers began working for KOA radio; he also wrote a sports column in the Rocky Mountain News. After retiring from football, Rivers moved to broadcasting full time, hosting his own talk show on KHOW from 1997-2002. Rivers' KHOW show focused more on topical issues than sports, as did his Rocky Mountain News column during the same period. Since 2006, Rivers has served as KCNC-TV's weekend sports anchor.

Rivers has also written five books: The Vance: The Beginning & The End - an as-told-to autobiography of former Broncos wide receiver Vance Johnson. Power Shift - a novel about a sports reporter and a player who hate each other. 4th & Fixed - a novel about a crime family fixing NFL games. My Wife's Boyfriend and Our Feud with the Highlands Ranch Homeowners Association- a comedic novel about a marriage falling apart in the suburbs. The Colony: A Political Tale - an allegory about foreign policy told through two colonies of ants.
