Five years after playing his final NFL game, Philip Rivers will make a return to the league to put an official end to his career.
Philip Rivers made it clear: his NFL journey ends where it truly began, with the Chargers. Though he last played in 2020 with the Colts, Rivers publicly confirmed on Monday what fans long assumed, announcing in a heartfelt team video, “I’m retiring a Charger.”
A former Athens High School star and son of a prep coach, Rivers has spent the four seasons since as the football coach at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope. But it wasn’t until Monday that Rivers announced his retirement from the NFL.
