Philip Rivers received positive news in his case to make the Hall of Fame. On Wednesday, he advanced along with 51 other players in the voting process. Three other Chargers also gained momentum for their HOF cases. Drew Brees, Lorenzo Neal, and Rodney Harrison also advanced to the next round of voting.
Brees is almost a guaranteed first ballot Hall of Famer at the quarterback position. The cases for Rivers, Neal, and Harrison are more marginal. Harrison and Neal have been eligible on the ballot for well over a decade. 2026 will be Rivers and Brees' first years of being eligible for the voting process.
