Philip Rivers Returns to the Gridiron | Huntsville News

Philip Rivers is back in the spotlight—this time coaching high school football—and he’s got a national TV game on the horizon. His St. Michael Catholic team faces powerhouse Battle Ground Academy, son of Luke Bryan at QB, in a nationally broadcast showdown on August 22nd. Rivers, who briefly returned to the NFL at 45, is embracing the challenge with the same fire he brought to the pros, calling it “a heck of an opportunity.” With his son Gunner already making waves in Alabama and St. Michael’s recent state semifinal runs, Rivers is focused on developing young talent and building toward a late-season peak. The game, set for 12:30 PM in Fairhope, Alabama, is expected to air on an ESPN channel—giving the program and community massive exposure.
