How Herbert plays

Justin Herbert gives you a pocket passer with rare size for the position: 1.98 m and 107 kg, standing in against pressure and throwing from any platform. He works the middle on rhythm, and his legs keep drives alive when the pocket folds. To slow him, pressure must arrive up the middle and secondaries have to disguise rotations late, because he reads leverage quickly and punishes a single-high look.

He quarterbacks the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL, the franchise that drafted him in the first round out of Oregon and has kept the offense in his hands since. Career passing yards stand at 24,820, and the scheme around him leans on quick reads, deep shots and his ability to extend plays when protection breaks.
