Justin Herbert Thrives Off The Deep Ball, And The Results Show It

Herbert’s throws deep down the field are always on point

The Los Angeles Chargers scored big when they drafted Justin Herbert in 2020, selecting him as the sixth pick in the NFL Draft. Since taking the reins as the starting QB, he's been an absolute game-changer for the team. He's not just the franchise QB; he's also proven himself as one of the most gifted quarterbacks in the league. What sets him apart is his cannon-like arm.

Herbert's long ball is exceptional and are almost always on point. Chargers Muse shared a fun stat via Twitter stating that Herbert's five longest pass completions are all touchdowns.

Another fun tidbit is that Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton were the beneficiaries of Herbert's longest touchdown completions. 

Herbert will likely be a Charger for life, and we cannot wait to see him display these consistent performances for years to come. 

As fans eagerly anticipate the 2023 season, there's excitement about what other incredible feats Herbert's arm could achieve. More touchdown passes are sure on the horizon as the league watches Herbert's every move.
