Justin Herbert is the new face of the Los Angeles Chargers and has made an instant impact, not only on their franchise but across the entire NFL as well.
After winning the Rookie of the Year in 2020, his performance in 2022 has cemented him in league record books yet again.
The @chargers QB Justin Herbert made his third year in the @NFL one to remember.
He ends the 2022 Season with:

Herbert has led the Chargers to the playoffs this season and isn’t just looking to be a one-and-done team either.
He leads the NFL in touchdowns, passing yards, and completions in a quarterback’s first three seasons in the league, and also leads the league for games with a touchdown pass in a quarterback’s first three seasons as well.
Herbert is a part of the new age of quarterback in the NFL and should provide excitement and electricity to this franchise for years to come.
The Chargers ended this season with a record of 10-7, their best season since 2018 when they had a record of 12-4.
Although their coach Brandon Staley has undergone lots of questioning and scrutiny, he’s doing something right, given the success of Herbert and the team as a whole.
Heading into the postseason, Herbert might be without one of his top receiving weapons, Mike Williams.
Williams has undergone a roller coaster this season in terms of health but looks to bounce back, trying to help his team advance in the postseason.
Herbert might have to lean heavier on Austin Ekeler and Keenan Allen if Williams is unable to go this weekend.
Either way, with Herbert at the helm, the Chargers have a great chance to succeed, no matter who their opponent might be.
