Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers are building an exciting future, and a key piece might be the chemistry between the coach and his quarterback. The Chargers have a potentially dominant duo, with the talented Justin Herbert leading the offense. But the team isn’t stopping there. They recently signed a linebacker from the Minnesota Vikings to bulk up their defense. 

Linebacker Troy Dye, fresh off his signing with the Chargers under coach Harbaugh, is excited. After four seasons with the Vikings, Dye might finally see his shot at a starting role in Los Angeles. The LB looks quite enthusiastic about joining the new team. Even a viral video captures this enthusiasm, showing Dye calling teammate Justin Herbert in a lighthearted moment that’s got Chargers fans fired.

Despite financial burdens, the Chargers pulled off a decent one-year deal with Troy Dye. Now, Dye is all set to join some of his old teammates. A recent social media post went viral, showing Dye calling Herbert. When asked to call the most famous person in his contact, Dye didn’t hesitate. He excitedly dialed Herbert’s number, yelling “Herbbiieeee!” upon his teammate picking up.

The main reason behind Justin Herbert and Dye’s bromance is their time at Oregon University. This enthusiasm and bond is a positive sign for the Chargers’ locker room. Dye brings more than just excitement, though. He’s a seasoned linebacker with experience in 61 career games, including playoffs. There’s also a familiar face on the coaching staff – Chargers Special Teams Coordinator Ryan Ficken, who previously coached Dye in Minnesota. Dye’s special skills will be valuable, along with his 54 tackles, sack, and forced fumble on defense. The Chargers are building a strong team, and the bond between Dye and Herbert is just one indicator of the positive chemistry brewing in Los Angeles.
