The Los Angeles Chargers selected Justin Herbert with the sixth overall pick in 2020 with the hopes that the Oregon Duck could take them to the promised land.  That hasn’t happened yet, but Herbert has been arguably a top ten NFL Quarterback who has the goods to get there.

Herbert won the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2020 (4,336 Yards & 31 TD) and was a Pro Bowl Selection in his second season after throwing what has been his best year to date with 5,014 Passing Yards and 38 Touchdowns.  Herbert has not thrown more than 30 touchdowns in a year, but his accuracy has improved, so much so that last season he only threw three Interceptions.

Herbert has yet to win a playoff game, but with the right pieces around him, the Chargers have their pivot for years to come.
