Philip Rivers: Combine results and workout sources
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.

What the measurements tell you
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.
Using the results fairly
Jumps test power in different directions. The cone and shuttle use different paths, so their times are not interchangeable. Lifting repetitions do not show catching skill or passing accuracy. These tests add a physical snapshot to a draft report; they do not replace film, production or a medical review.
This table follows the source notes rather than choosing the best mark from several events. Where a second report differs, the event note explains the gap. We publish no percentile without a defined comparison group, sample size and calculation.
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.
Sources and review method
We checked the linked records for this update. Team and school reports can explain the event. Historical tables compile results and may leave fields empty. We keep that distinction visible and do not claim an affiliation with the source publishers.
