Philip Rivers: Draft profile and testing record
The 2004 table records a 5.08 second sprint but leaves the jumps and agility fields blank. Those gaps do not support the jump heights or cone times that some unsourced profiles repeat.
Read the workout in context
The New York Giants made the selection before the draft day trade sent the quarterback to San Diego. A draft team field describes that transaction, not a current roster. Pocket movement and passing decisions require game film beyond this running result.
Testing table
Source setting: compiled combine record. Values below follow the linked record. A blank field stays unknown; only a source that says DNP supports that label.

| Vertical jump | Not recorded in reviewed source |
| Broad jump | Not recorded in reviewed source |
| Three cone drill | Not recorded in reviewed source |

College, size and draft selection
The college listed for this draft entry is NC State. The selection was round 1, pick 4, in 2004, by New York Giants (traded to Chargers). This identifies the selecting club rather than a present day team.
The reviewed draft record lists 6 ft 5 in and 229 pounds. Draft measurements describe that point in time. A later team roster can list different measurements, so use a dated roster for a current size question.
What this profile can answer
Start with the event notes when checking a sprint or jump claim. Then use the table to see which tests have a result. The draft section covers the college and selecting club, while the dedicated evidence pages answer narrower speed and assessment questions.
This is a historical testing profile, not a live injury or roster update. A workout cannot tell you whether an athlete will play this week. Check the current team injury report for availability and an official gamebook for game statistics.
What to check for this record
A search for his vertical jump has no numerical answer in this reviewed table. The listed sprint offers a straight line result only. The blank cone and shuttle fields cannot support a claim about measured lateral quickness, even though scouting reports can discuss pocket movement from film.
Questions readers ask
Which draft team selected this player?
New York Giants (traded to Chargers) selected the NC State QB in round 1, at pick 4, in 2004. This is draft history, not a current roster claim.
What does an empty test field mean?
It means the reviewed source does not record a result. It does not mean zero, and it does not prove why the athlete did not have a listed mark.
