Chargers News: Justin Herbert Reveals Immense Workload Behind Rebound Season

LA's QB1 loves the grind; he loves the hustle

The Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is having himself quite a season. After an injury-riddled season in 2022, 2023 has been slightly kinder to the fourth-year QB, and we hope it stays that way. 

A fractured finger hampered the 25-year-old for a bit, but that seems to be behind the Pro Bowler. Although the Bolts aren't having the season they'd hoped for as of late, it isn't because of Herbert; LA is ranked as the tenth total offense in the league thanks to Herbert's play. 

He may be quiet and does all he can to avoid the cameras; however, he is devoted to the game and does the necessary work to help lead the powder blue with all his might. 

"Monday and Tuesday are lighter days," Herbert told Los Angeles Chargers of the days where he only puts in eight hours or so. "But the rest of the week? I'm usually here by 6 a.m. and don't leave until at least 8 p.m."

There is no denying Herbert's love and devotion to the game. He's come into this season to show he is among the best in the game, and he's done that thus far. Through ten games, Herbert ranks ninth in passing yards, 8th in total completions, fourth in touchdowns, and third in QBR at 72. 

Unfortunately, his play has not resulted in the wins many had hoped for, but the 6’6” Oregon product will no doubt continue to do all he can to put the Chargers over the top, even if that means putting the team on his back.
