Justin Patrick Herbert (born March 10, 1998) is an American football quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Oregon, where he won the 2019 Pac-12 Championship and was named MVP of the 2020 Rose Bowl. Herbert was selected by the Chargers as the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Herbert became the Chargers starting quarterback in the second game of his rookie year. Herbert remained as the starter for the rest of the season, and set several rookie statistical records, including the most touchdown passes and the most 300-yard games. Herbert was named the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Early life
Herbert was born in Eugene, Oregon, on March 10, 1998, and attended Sheldon High School, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. Justin co-founded the Sheldon High School Fishing Club while in high school. He suffered a broken leg in the third football game of his junior season, complicating his recruitment process. As a senior, he passed for 3,130 yards and 37 touchdowns, and rushed for 543 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was named 1st Team All-State and the Southwest Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Northern Arizona, Portland State, and Montana State extended offers before Nevada and Oregon followed up with his only FBS offers. Herbert committed to Oregon in October 2015.
