Justin Herbert’s days as a hopeful future franchise quarterback are drawing near.
Herbert, the sixth pick in the NFL 2020 Draft and the third-ranked draft pick, is working to finalize his four-year rookie contract with the Los Angeles Chargers worth approximately $ 26.6 million, reported Ian Rapoport, a member of the NFL network. Rapoport added that the deal is expected to be made soon.
With a strong athletic talent armed outside of Oregon with a prototypical NFL size of 6-foot-6, 235 pounds, Herbert threw for 3,471 yards with a completion percentage of 66.8 and 32 touchdowns to just six interceptions in his senior campaign for the Ducks. .
Taken after LSU call sign Joe Burrow was selected No. 1 by the Bengals and Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa was chosen No. 5 by the Dolphins, Herbert will join the Chargers team that parted ways with the franchise. Philip Rivers in the off season. The Bolts’ hope is that Herbert will become the next face of the franchise, but at first he will have to fight or wait behind Tyrod Taylor.
The Packers picked Utah State’s Jordan Love with the 26th pick in the first round, making him the final quarterback selected in the first round. Love and Tagovailoa have already signed. After Herbert and the Bolts finalize their deal, Burrow will be the only remaining unsigned first-round QB.
