Below is a look at some of Philip Rivers’ career accomplishments and highlights.

  • 8x Pro Bowl

Philip Rivers’ preferred rookie card is in the 2004 Topps Chrome set alongside Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Larry Fitzgerald.  Throughout the years, he was very hit or miss TTM.  I purchased a couple raw cards on eBay and sent them in a bubble mailer and fortunately they came back signed in about a month.
