Philip Rivers is officially closing the book on his NFL career, and the quarterback has found a great way to go out.
The Los Angeles Chargers released a video on Monday in which Rivers revealed that he will retire as a member of the team. The nearly five-minute clip featured Rivers in an interview setting reflecting on his 17-year career, 16 of which were spent with the Chargers.
In the middle of the interview, Rivers got a surprise visit from several former Chargers offensive linemen. The 43-year-old fought back tears on more than one occasion during the sit-down.
“I’m thankful for those 16 years entrusting me to be the quarterback, and I certainly never took it for granted. I never took it for granted, getting to suit up and lead the Chargers for 240-something games in a row,” Rivers said.
The full video is worth a watch:
