Justin Herbert impressed the entire NFL last season with a record-setting rookie performance.
He has continued to impress a much smaller audience so far in 2021 and for reasons not related to anything on the field.
Veteran Chase Daniel said Herbert is “probably one of the smartest young guys I’ve been around … and not only football knowledge, but how to be a good teammate, how to be a franchise quarterback.”
Entering his 13th season, Daniel twice Wednesday noted Herbert’s humility coming off a season full of accomplishments worthy of bragging. He called Herbert “super humble.”
