LA Chargers’ Jim Harbaugh Says Money Didn’t Change Justin Herbert
Former Oregon Ducks and current Los Angeles Chargers starting quarterback Justin Herbert is leading the NFL with only one interception in eight starts. His single turnover through the air is good for the least of all NFL quarterbacks starting every game.
Herbert and the Chargers are 5-3, and they only trail the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. In eight games, Herbert has thrown for 1725 yards, 10 touchdowns, and the one interception.
Despite entering the season without a clear-cut No. 1 receiving target, Herbert is having success with his new coach in Los Angeles, Jim Harbaugh. Rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey leads the Chargers with 35 receptions and 440 receiving yards.
Harbaugh brought a run-first mentality to the Chargers, but Herbert is still having one of the better seasons of his career. The former Oregon Duck dealt with an ankle injury in the early part of the season, but he has impressed since returning.
On Monday, Colin Cowherd interviewed Harbaugh, and the Los Angeles coach could not stop talking about his quarterback’s toughness.
