Last season, the strong-armed QB led his team to a 10-7 record and his first playoff game in his young career. The Chargers would lose that Wild Card game to the Jaguars in a 31-30 nail-biter of a game.

His stat line for the year ended with 4,739 passing yards and 25 touchdowns. A stellar year for a top QB is still on the rise.

With moves to improve the receiver position in the draft, Herbert looks to have a few new weapons to throw to and help lead the Chargers to another season, putting them in the playoffs.
