No way! According to wikipedia their both the same height 6'2, but keith rivers weighs thirty more pounds than Robert Meachum. Add to that the fact that keith rivers played for usc and is stronger (but not as fast) as robert meachum. they're both very atheltic, i'll give you that!!!
Now regarding the actual thread - Meachum didn't sit out the year because of our 'pretty good group' (your words, not mine) of receivers. He sat out because he wasn't ready to play. There is a significant difference. Regarding your point about our strength in depth at OLB, I'm afraid I just don't agree. Shanle and Simoneau aren't good enough, in my opinion, to hold out Rivers assuming he shows up to camp in good shape and picks up the system reasonably. So basically, if he did turn out to be a 'Meachum' it'd be because he hadn't shown up ready to play, not because our OLBs are a pretty good (or even average) group at this stage.
