San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers got some recognition from the NFL, and it wasn’t because he was wearing his famous bolo tie.
NFL Media senior analyst Gil Brandt built what he believes is the ultimate quarterback. It included having the accuracy of Drew Brees, the arm of Matthew Stafford, the toughness of Ben Roethlisberger, the mental alertness of Tom Brady, the athleticism of Cam Newton, the running ability of Russell Wilson and the competiveness of Aaron Rodgers.
And for leadership ability, Brandt selected Rivers. This is what he had to say:
“Rivers is a quiet leader off the field, but he’s very vocal on it.
