Chargers great shares funny photo with shredded-looking Justin Herbert

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert isn’t spotted often outside of football activities and certainly isn’t going viral on social media for non-football stuff often.

But the last week or so has been interesting in that regard.

For one, Herbert just popped up at a golf charity event with some major names and…even signed a baby. No joke.

And now, two, we’ve got a picture of Herbert alongside Chargers great Shawne Merriman making the rounds on social media.

In the quickly-viral picture from Merriman, fans noticed just how ripped Herbert looks in it:

This is what it looks like having height different on me @JustinMerr12 not tall hair 😂😂😂. Btw they got a squad this year can’t wait ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #chargers #boltup pic.twitter.com/rAoECsZSbR

What’s interesting is fans weren’t commenting as much on the sleeve Herbert wore on his leg. That’s typical athletic wear, but also worth pointing out after Herbert suffered multiple nagging lower-body injuries last season.

Either way, the picture is a fun one, great offseason content for fans and an all-too-rare glimpse at the Chargers’ franchise passer.
