The list of draft analysts who got Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert wrong is long, and sadly includes this draft analyst.

Though he was limited as a quarterback outside of the deep ball with the Ducks, Herbert has been a revelation with the Chargers, who took him with the sixth overall pick in the 2020 draft. Though the Chargers came into their Sunday game with the Broncos with a 2-4 record, all of those losses were by single-score margins, and this is as dangerous a team as you’ll find in the NFL right now. Herbert is a big part of that.
Against the Broncos, he showed why once again. Herbert’s team was already up 14-3 in the third quarter when the rookie teamed up with Mike Williams for this insanely great throw and catch on a 24-yard touchdown.

Denver cornerback A.J. Bouye did the best he could in coverage, but there’s no way to counter a one-handed catch like this. The Chargers look to be heading to 3-4 on the season, and this a team you don’t want to deal with in 2020’s second half.
