Philip Rivers on Justin Herbert: ‘They got that one right’

Philip Rivers’ time with the Chargers came to end following a very underwhelming 2019 season where the team struggled to close out numerous games en route to an abysmal 5-11 record. Such an underperforming season by the franchise only spurred on Rivers’ exit from the team and the search for the next franchise quarterback was on.

Luckily for the entire Chargers fan base, that wait last all but one offseason. Justin Herbert was selected with the sixth-overall pick and has enjoyed one of the most-productive two-year stretches to begin a career for any quarterback history.

Since his retirement, Rivers has enjoyed fulfilling his other childhood dream of coaching football at the high-school level, just like his father.
