I just mentioned watching Phillip Rivers in the 2004 Senior Bowl in another thread. Just to remind everyone how old Rivers is, we drafted Kuneche Udeze that year.

Does he have to wear one of the newer high tech helmets or can he wear his standard leather one from his playing days....

Kudos to old man Rivers getting out of the rocking chair to slinging TD's after four years out of football

They wanted someone that can run an offense, not run from any offense.

Yeah, those throws looked like a struggle.  And who didn't cringe every time he got knocked down?

He looked big and slow lol, but good for him. Hopefully he had fun and isn’t hurting to bad this morning. Crazy story. They almost won!
