Philip Michael Rivers (born December 8, 1981) is an American former professional football quarterback. He played college football for the NC State Wolfpack and was selected fourth overall in the 2004 NFL draft by the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL), who traded him to the San Diego Chargers during the draft. Rivers was a member of the Chargers for 16 seasons, before joining the Indianapolis Colts in 2020. He has served as the head football coach at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama since 2021.
After spending his first two seasons as a backup, Rivers served as the Chargers' starting quarterback from 2006 to 2019. During his tenure, he was named to eight Pro Bowls while leading the team to six postseason appearances and four division titles. Although never making a Super Bowl appearance in his career, Rivers helped the Chargers win their first playoff game since 1994 and reach the AFC Championship Game in the 2007 season. With the Colts in 2020, he reached the playoffs a seventh time.
Rivers is ranked fifth all-time in passing yards and touchdowns, both of which are the highest-ranking among quarterbacks without Super Bowl appearances. He is also second all-time in consecutive regular season starts by a quarterback, having started every regular season game between 2006 and 2020. Rivers is considered among the greatest quarterbacks to have never played in a Super Bowl.
