You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports Radio.

Hour from now, Philip Rivers, former Chargers quarterback.

The current Chargers quarterback, Justin Herbert, in his sixth.

See, you're in your sixth year?

Wow.

Going by fast. Wow. Take me back to your junior year.

You had really good numbers at Oregon. How close were you to coming out after your junior year?

Yeah, really not that close. You know, just the way the season ended, I wanted to come back and make sure that we ended on the right foot.

And I still feel like I had so much to improve and get better at.

And I think that was something that we accomplished my senior year.

And then you played, what, 13 or 14 more games?

And scouts like to have around 25 to 30 starts to be able to assess.

So I think you had close to 40, 45 starts in your career. Did that sound

about right? Yeah, that sounds about right. I missed six games my sophomore year with a broken

clavicle. So I feel like that was, you know, good film to put back on tape. How's the relationship

with Coach Harbaugh? It's awesome. He's an incredible coach.

Everyone loves to play for him. We just want to make him proud. He's a competitor. And I think that's the best thing about him is he just wants to win. However, you know, we go about it. That's his main focus. He's a little goofy though at times, right? Yeah, and I think that's a good thing. You know, I think, you know, to have a personality as a coach is great.

He walks in the team meeting rooms and, you know, Yeah, and I think that's a good thing. I think to have a personality as a coach is great.

He walks into team meeting rooms and it's not always just football.

It's more than that.

I think the guys respect that, they appreciate that, and it makes it easier to relate to him.
