Justin Herbert, now fully entrenched as the Los Angeles Chargers‘ superstar quarterback as they embark upon their 2022 NFL schedule, really is that good.

There’s a reason he checked in at No. 3 in our rankings of the league’s top 32 quarterbacks heading into the offseason, and nothing has changed to move him down even a single peg.

If anything, he’ll have the ball in his hands even more frequently with Khalil Mack, JC Jackson, Sebastian Joseph-Day, and Austin Johnson helping lift this defense to the proverbial next level. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that the Chargers re-signed Mike Williams, added Gerald Everett, and drafted Isaiah Spiller to surround him with even more offensive weapons.

“I just think there’s a lot to build on. His experiences — I think so much as a young player at quarterback is the inventory of experiences. It’s kind of like being a rookie head coach; you learn so much every single day. And I think Justin building that inventory of the defensive structures, the defensive coordinators that he’s going [against], he’s only going to get better,” head coach Brandon Staley said during a May 5 appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, and it’s hard to disagree.

Herbert threw for 5,014 yards, 38 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions while leading the Chargers to a 9-8 record in 2021, and he’s gearing up to leave those numbers in the dust during an age-24 go-round that could result in a spot atop the AFC West.
