Justin Herbert

No. 10 · 7th season

Seven years in, Herbert is quietly rebuilding how he moves

Most quarterbacks at Herbert's level are fine-tuning the margins. He's doing something less comfortable than that.

Herbert has been a starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers for seven seasons — long enough to have an established way of doing things. This offseason, he's pulling at the roots. He's throwing less and moving more, working on his footwork and his timing before the ball even leaves his hand. The idea is to change how he delivers the ball to the people around him, not just how often or how far.

The Chargers offense already has a new shape this year. Herbert's personal work suggests he's not coasting into it.

There's something quietly serious about a player who's been doing something for seven years deciding the foundation still needs work. That kind of willingness is easy to miss in the offseason and obvious by October.
