Justin HerbertQB

Herbert is set up for success in Mike McDaniel's new Chargers offense. McDaniel has adjusted Herbert's footwork—particularly his shotgun stance with left foot forward instead of right—to help him get the ball out quicker, a major camp emphasis. McDaniel believes the Chargers have historically asked too much of Herbert and aims to make his job easier by developing other offensive parts around him. Head coach Jim Harbaugh noted Herbert has advanced quickly in the new system, studying meticulously and asking detailed questions like "a guy who's been in this system for two or three or four years." The Chargers have deepened their roster with multiple receiving options, healthy starting tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt back, and targeted free agent additions (Charlie Kolar, Alec Ingold, Tyler Biadasz) to implement McDaniel's system.
