San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, discussing what it’s like not having LaDainian Tomlinson around anymore, and how rookie running back Ryan Mathews has looked thus far this summer, as quoted on NFL.com:

“A guy that’s done what he’s done both on and off the field, what he’s meant to our franchise, not seeing him in the locker room, not seeing him in the meetings, it’s been a little different for me.” Rivers continued: “I think we’ve moved past that transition period. Obviously, we drafted a running back in Ryan Mathews. He’s had a good summer, looks the part — he has a presence about him that kind of exudes something special. As we get through this training camp and head toward Week 1, hopefully we’ll be clicking on all cylinders.”
