EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Elijah Riley knew he would be living life on the move after graduating from the U.S. Military Academy in 2020. Riley has moved from place to place over the past four years, but not in the Army. He's doing it in the NFL and his latest stop is as a defensive back with the New York Giants, trying to make the team in training camp. That's what he did in 2021 with the Jets. He then spent the past two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old Riley says the Army prepared him for working with new teammates and coaches and building relationships.
