When interviewed, the coaching staff went bonkers over Herbert. They began singing his praises and appreciating him. One coach even said, “But the major takeaway is that Justin Herbert is going to be our quarterback, and we’re so excited that he is leading our franchise.” There was a lot of confidence from the coach in terms of Herbert’s landing spot. With the effort he put in, he has now become most probably the richest QB in the league.
While his contract hasn’t been confirmed, even these talks are a huge step for the quarterback’s career. It only remains to be seen if he can earn a contract that puts him above the likes of A-Rod and Mahomes.
