Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning was recently amazed by the prowess of the Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert. A former Super Bowl-winning QB, Manning was sharing his breakdown of one of the top plays made by Herbert against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was an extraordinary play from the 2020 Offensive Rookie of The Year award winner and a display of his elite talent on film.

The clip was in a post on the official Instagram handle of the Los Angeles Chargers organization. The near 1-minute clip did have a moment-by-moment commentary by one of the top players from the QB position. The former Broncos star, while talking about the Chargers QB states, “Not everybody can run this play but a lot of quarterbacks can’t make this throw. But Justin can. This throw is not for everybody folks. Don’t try this throw at home…”

Manning, while giving credit to Herbert for the throw, gives Chargers WR Mike Williams some spotlight. He recognizes his tireless running to complete the play for his quarterback. Manning notes that Herbert fools the Eagles’ pass rushers by continuing to move to the right.
