Justin Herbert appears enthusiastic about the prospect of playing under his new head coach.

The Los Angeles Chargers recently brought Jim Harbaugh on board as their new head coach. Herbert, who has been with the Chargers since being drafted sixth overall in 2020 from Oregon, seems energized by this development. Despite the team’s mixed performance in recent years, including one playoff appearance, Herbert sees promise in Harbaugh’s arrival, particularly his strong desire to win.

During an interview on the “Chasin’ It” podcast with Trey Wingo and Chase Daniel, Herbert expressed his admiration for Harbaugh’s track record of success at both the college and NFL levels. He highlighted Harbaugh’s competitive spirit and his eagerness to achieve victory, qualities that resonate with Herbert.

Their conversations have centered on Harbaugh’s vision for the team, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to winning. For Herbert, this attribute makes Harbaugh an appealing coach to play under.

Herbert gained attention for his impressive performance in his first two seasons, although his numbers saw a decline in the previous season due to injuries. Nonetheless, the Chargers possess a talented roster, including a franchise quarterback in Herbert himself, offensive firepower, and defensive standouts. With Harbaugh at the helm, the Chargers aim to harness this potential and elevate their performance.
