Riley is from Ankeny, Iowa. Played high school football at Ankeny Centennial, and was one of those guys who Iowa finds and takes a chance on that other Division 1 programs seem to miss. He excelled at both football and track in high school, and his speed was something the Hawks thought they could work with, and they were right. He talks about his unexpected early playing time, and what his actual goals were in year 1 as a Hawkeye, and how playing as a young guy was met with mixed feelings from his peers. We discuss Coach Parker and the dough boyz and why they are so special, Riley's most memorable ass chewing during a game, and what it was like playing on arguably the best Defense in the country. We talk life current day and what the NFL combine was like, how his Pro Day went, and how he blocks out the noise and doubt of being a white Corner in the NFL. He talks about his favorite moments in kinnick, 2 house Calls in a single game vs Indiana, living in the walkons old Benton house, and a lot more!
