At the age of 5½ Riverón emigrated to the United States with his mother, Irene Valdés, on a Freedom Flight.

His supervisor was veteran official Gerald Austin, who recommended him for the now defunct NFL Europe.

For two years Riverón would officiate for ten days in Europe.

2004

In 2004 the National Football League (NFL) hired Riverón as a side judge.

Mike Pereira, the NFL's vice president for officiating, said "You can't teach the confidence and decisiveness with which he does things."

He was the first Hispanic to officiate the NFL.

Before every game he dedicates over 35 hours watching footage, studying the rules and meeting with his crew.

He also spends hours in the gym to keep his fitness up.

2017

On 10 May 2017, he was named senior vice president of officiating.

2018

Despite a shaky start the NFL announced that it would retain Riveron as its senior vice president of officiating for the 2018 season.

During the 2018 season, Riveron received criticism for the manner in which NFL officials implemented penalties for roughing the passer, which had been deemed an area of emphasis the previous off-season.

Critics of the new emphasis on the rule included former NFL Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino as well as Mike Pereira.

Riveron admitted in an interview that at least two of the roughing the passer penalties applied the first week of the season had been called incorrectly.

In response, the NFL competition committee held a conference call to discuss the implementation of the rule.

After the conference call, the competition committee issued a rule clarification, which led to a dramatic reduction in roughing the passer penalties in the following weeks.

2019

On September 19, 2019, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady tweeted that he was turning off the Thursday Night Football game because he couldn't watch the "ridiculous penalties" for offensive holding Two days later, Riveron held a conference call with 17 NFL referees to discuss the frequency with which holding was being called.

The next day, holding penalties were called an average of 2.9 times per game, down from a rate of 5.7 times per game over the previous three weeks, leading to speculation that Brady may have influenced how NFL referees officiate games.

In August 2021, it was announced that he was retiring from his position as the head of the league's officiating department.

Riverón says that when he makes mistakes, he hears about it from everyone, but that "no one feels worse when I make mistakes than I do."

He likes to keep an open line of communication between himself and the coaches and players, but tries to stop them from becoming one-sided.
