Philip Rivers
American Football player Philip River is originally from Decatur, Alabama. He attended Athens High where he began his early football career and became a football star. He received the Alabama Player of the Year award.
While in college, River headed to North Carolina where he attended NC State University in Raleigh; he established a new level for consistency in college football.
During the 2004 NFL draft, River was sighted as the third best quarterback along with Manning and Roethlisberger, but there were some uncertainties regarding his arm strength as well as his sidearm throw movement. He was then selected by the Steelers; but later on that same year he was traded to the Giants and finally he signed a $40.5 million contract with the Chargers.
It was not until the 2005 season Rivers was able to have some running time which he took advantage of by completing 12 of 22 passing attempts for 115 yards with two fumbles and one interception. By the end of the 2006, Rivers was named by Sports Illustrated the second best quarter back under the age of 25.
