Getsy describes Herbert as having a 'cool patience about him.' 'That's as much as anything,' Getsy said. 'I think Coach 'Walk' does a great job with those guys and training their eyes where they're supposed to be. But I think Khalil's got a really cool patience about him, that he's able to kind of let things happen and make it feel like he's not necessarily going full speed but he is, which then allows him to make cuts and read off the blocks of guys really well.'

Herbert's patience and vision allow him to read blocks and find running lanes effectively.

Herbert's running back vision and patience are standout traits. Offensive coordinator Getsy describes Herbert as having a 'cool patience about him,' noting he 'is able to kind of let things happen and make it feel like he's not necessarily going full speed but he is, which then allows him to make cuts and read off the blocks of guys really well.' Herbert credits running backs coach David Walker with training his eyes and helping him identify landmarks on the defense, plant his foot, and get upfield.
