Tomlinson Says Philip Rivers Is 'Distracted'

(CBS) -- Everyone seems to have a theory on the struggles of San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers.

At New York Jets practice on Thursday, former teammate, LaDainian Tomlinson was outspoken about Rivers to the media.

"I don't know what Philip may be going through right now," said Tomlinson.

"But I will say, to me he seems distracted, for some reason. Like on the sideline, he seems like he's just distracted. And I've always said this: It's hard to be 'the guy.' When they say this is your team, it's hard to be the guy, because you get all the questions of what's wrong and what's right. And then you get your teammates who expect certain things from you, and when that doesn't happen, you get strange looks in the locker room. It's hard to be that guy when it's your team, so that may have a little bit to do with what's going on, too."
