Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert's rookie season ranks among best since 2000.
Justin Herbert was questioned as a prospect coming out of Oregon and getting selected No. 6 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he quickly put those doubts to rest once he began playing. Herbert unexpectedly filled in for Tyrod Taylor in week two of his rookie season and led the Chargers to a near-win against the reigning Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
In addition to the rookie passing touchdown record, Herbert also broke the record for most pass completions by a rookie with 396. He finished second to Andrew Luck in rookie passing yards with 4,336 yards, just 38 yards short of Luck's record of 4,374 passing yards. Had Herbert played all 16 games and not just 15, he'd likely hold that record as well. Thanks to his accomplishments, Herbert won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
