Philip Rivers is the QB1
When it was all said and done, Rivers was the target the entire time for the Colts. They scouted Tom Brady and likely had an eye on a first-round prospect, but Rivers was the quarterback that Reich wanted all along since free agency started.
The Colts are hoping that Rivers can bounce back following a rough 2019 season that included 20 interceptions. But Rivers will be bringing an aggressive mindset to the offense—one they didn’t have with Jacoby Brissett under center.
Getting Rivers more weapons will be the objective in the draft, but the 38-year-old will be running the offense for at least the 2020 season.
