The highly anticipated video game, EA Sport’s Madden 21 is a little over month away from being released.
Leading up into the launch, player ratings will be unveiled. On Thursday, rookie quarterbacks ratings were released by former NFL quarterback and Hall of Famer Steve Young.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will have a 70 overall rating in his first season, marking the fourth-highest rated rookie quarterback, trailing Joe Burrow (78), Tua Tagovailoa (73) and Jordan Love (71).
Here’s a glance at Herbert’s other significant ratings:
· 82 speed

· 71 strength
· 80 agility
· 70 awareness
· 69 carrying
· 92 throwing power

Herbert has the size, athleticism and arm things, but there are some things needed to be worked on, including his decision-making and instincts under pressure, before he takes the reins.
Herbert, along with the rest of the team’s draft class, have yet to sign their rookie deals.
