| Chargers QB Philip Rivers Excited About Running Back Prospects | | |
Philip Rivers is a college football nut, watching games on Saturdays when the Chargers are on the road, records games during the week to skip through after the kids are asleep, talks in the locker room about players and plays he sees. So while the Chargers quarterback has no idea what A.J. Smith will do in the upcoming draft, Rivers figures he is virtually assured of getting a good running back to be his primary backfield mate. “Just from being a college football fan, I know it’s a healthy running back class,” Rivers said. “It is fun to see a bunch of good (backs) out there and think about that one of them could be on your team next year.” While Smith has vowed to find a No. 1 running back by “any means,” and there could be a trade coming that would fill the team’s need for a starter, it is highly likely that LaDainian Tomlinson’s replacement is going to come from one of the draft’s first two rounds.
