Philip Rivers
Position: Quarterback
Height: 6'5'
Weight: 236
College: N.C. State
Strengths
He is very calm and collected under pressure. Does not get rattled that much and always seems under control. Has great size and height at 6-6 and is very agile. Can throw on the run just as accurately as in the pocket but I feel he is better on the move. Rivers has a very good arm, nice touch, and a nice fast release. Just knows how to get the ball where it needs to be. Philip is a very competitive player and is very passionate about the game, he can lead a football team no question about it.
Weaknesses
He has a really quick release on the ball but his overall mechanics when throwing is not normal. It does not look like a normal release looks like, he tends to side arm passes and he doesn’t gun the ball to the target. But those are small errors and can be corrected easily. Some might question his toughness as well, he is a big tall kid but not really strong, but his mobility helps him in that department getting away from the pressure.
Summary
Overall he could be a very interesting NFL prospect. I believe he can lead a football team, he is a very hard worker, smart, has mobility, accurate and can throw it deep. Has shown he can be consistent over a long period of time and always puts up offensive numbers no matter what kind of talent is around him. Philip Rivers is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation without a doubt and should have a very successful NFL career.
