Rivers is eligible for the HOF this year. I heard something interesting on Dan Patrick this morning. If he plays even a little for the Colts this year, the clock starts again and he has to wait another 5 years to be eligible for the HOF. However, he is very, very familiar with Steichens' methods and if he was on the practice squad and not playing, he would retain his this year eligibility. On the practice squad, he could work with Leonard on a daily basis.
