Herbert, the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, has been nothing short of spectacular in his rookie season. He has thrown for 3,781 yards and 31 touchdowns with just 10 interceptions, while leading the Chargers to a 7-9 record. He has also set numerous rookie records, including most passing yards by a rookie in a single season.
The Chargers have made it clear that they are committed to Herbert as their franchise quarterback and the contract extension is a testament to that. With Herbert under center, the Chargers will be able to focus on building around him and creating a team that can compete for a championship.

Herbert’s contract extension is great news for the Chargers and their fans. With Herbert at the helm, the team can now focus on building a championship-caliber team and returning to their winning ways. The future looks bright for the Chargers with Herbert leading the way.
