Justin Herbert's practice connection with rookie WR Tre Harris has fans buzzing

The Los Angeles Chargers made fans wait longer than expected to get a big name at wide receiver for Justin Herbert this offseason and settled on Tre Harris in Round 2 of the NFL draft.

Since fans have fallen in love with the idea of his fit in Herbert’s offense and even members of the organization have suggested that the rest of the NFL was sleeping on Harris’s possible No. 1 upside.

Fans got their first look at the Herbert-to-Harris connection during practices on Monday.

And while the clips aren’t anything too wild just yet while Harris runs routes on air, they quickly accumulated thousands and thousands of interactions.

It’s certainly a glimpse of things to come this summer at training camp and well beyond. The Chargers went light at wideout compared to expectations, drafting two rookies and bringing back Mike Williams.

With a strong summer, Harris could be on the field more than Williams alongside Ladd McConkey right out of the gates in Week 1.

These first, entertaining-in-May reps are the first efforts by Harris and Herbert to get the timing and chemistry on the same page:

Tre Harris. Running crisp routes. Catching with his hands.

Weird.

I was told he didn’t know how to do those things. https://t.co/xVDzVfiLSv

The Chargers may have just drafted another stud WR.

Tre Harris averaged 129 yards per game and 5.12 yards per route run last year — both #1 in CFB.

The Chargers took him in the 2nd round.

Harris could be Herbert’s top deep threat right away...
