Philip Rivers Says Chargers 'Nailed It' with Justin Herbert; Hopes QB Plays 16 Years

In Justin Herbert, Philip Rivers sees a more than worthy successor as the Los Angeles Chargers' franchise quarterback.

In an interview on Crain & Company (via Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith), Rivers said he still roots for the Chargers and Herbert by extension. He hopes the 2020 first-round pick can be a mainstay with the team just as he was:

"I pull like crazy for the Chargers, and I pull for Justin Herbert in particular, just because I think it's awesome that I was able to be there for 16 years," he said.
