This was the easiest choice ever for fans and the NFL. Herbert balled out during his rookie campaign. He didn’t look like a young buck at all.
Herbert looked like a season vet once he took over for an injured Tyrod Taylor.

I would also like to take a second to remind everyone about all the vocal critics sounding off on Herbert before he took over the starting job in Los Angeles.
There were so many people trying to knock him down. What did he do? Oh, nothing major, except dominate.

Props to Herbert for having a hell of a season with the Chargers.
