Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco has been open about the possibility of drafting a young quarterback in the 2017 NFL draft for weeks now.

But Telesco shouldn’t expect Chargers franchise quarterback Philip Rivers to coddle anyone he brings in.

When asked about the possibility of L.A. drafting a young quarterback in April and if he would help groom said QB, Rivers gave the answer most Bolts fans would expect to KLSD-AM on Thursday, per NFL media’s Kevin Patra.

“I don’t think it’s my job or anything that I owe somebody,” Rivers said.

The Chargers have already met with three big-armed — yet still very raw — quarterbacks in DeShone Kizer, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Dobbs prior to the draft.

While Rivers did make it clear that he wouldn’t go out of his way to seek out a young QB to help him, he also equally emphasized that he wouldn’t turn away a hungry student who asks questions. A fact that should bode well for the Bolts’ future under center.

“It is nature — coaching — and I like to think I’m pretty charitable in the sense that I like to help people out, share and talk football,” Rivers continued on KLSD-AM.

“So I think if a young guy comes in here, I’m not on the top of my mind going to go, ‘Oh, I need to teach this guy.’ And yet, I’m not going to be a recluse and say, ‘Shoot, I’m not helping him out.’ I’m going to share whatever he wants and let him take whatever he likes, and how he can learn to be a pro. So I think it will happen organically without any concerted effort.”

Rivers is coming off of a 2016 season that saw him throw a career-high 21 interceptions. But he did throw 33 touchdown passes against those 21 picks, which is quite impressive considering his wide receiving corps and offensive line seemingly disintegrated around him by the moment.

If Telesco does draft a quarterback, it would be a sign of shrewd management. After all, no team wants to be left without a legitimate quarterback prospect on the roster as their franchise signal-caller’s career begins to fizzle out.
