"I find it fascinating" - Phil Mickelson shares take on Colts starting $100M-worth receiver against the Seahawks

Phil Mickelson has commented on the Indianapolis Colts' signing of a new receiver before their game against the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran golfer has always been an ardent fan of the NFL and often shares his views on matters related to the sport.

Recently, the Colts signed $100-million worth (via Celebrity Net Worth) Philip Rivers to their active roster. The 44-year-old athlete joined the team's practice squad, coming off a retirement that lasted for almost five years. The Colts have added their tackle Braden Smith to the injury reserve, which made room for the newly signed quarterback.

Phil Mickelson reposted the news of the former Los Angeles Chargers star being signed to the Colts on X. The six-time major champion also stated that it would be fascinating to watch:

"I don’t know if this is a good idea or not, but I find it fascinating and can’t wait to watch 👊"

Take a look at Mickelson's X repost here:

Phil Mickelson had been an avid supporter of the Los Angeles Chargers for a long time. He also stated in a Golf Digest interview that he hoped to own a minority stake in the team someday. The 55-year-old professional golfer voiced his support for the team several times, even during their dominating season-opener victory against the Kansas City Chiefs.

This is not the first time Mickelson has shared his take on NFL players. There have been past instances where Lefty has lauded Chargers athletes for their athleticism.
