Chargers select Oregon QB Justin Herbert with No. 6 overall selection

The Chargers get their quarterback of the future.

With the No. 6 overall selection, Los Angeles select former Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert.

In 44 career games Herbert completed 827-of-1,293 pass attempts for 10,541 passing yards (64%), 95 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. He started 14 games in 2019, completing 286-of-428 passes (67%) for 3,471 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Herbert gets a lot of flack for his consistency and decision-making issues, but he has the size, arm talent, mobility and above average accuracy. With the new scheme and the weapons that Los Angeles has in place, he has a higher chance to flourish.
