Herbert’s Biggest Fan
Heading into 2022, Richard Sherman has doubled down on his like for Justin Herbert. Now entering year three, Sherman believes that Justin Herbert will be the NFL MVP in 2022. “Justin Herbert is the guy, he’s setting records every single year” via Chargers Content on Instagram. ” He has the weapons… Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, He’s the undisputed guy, and he’s going to be the undisputed guy in the National Football League…. The MVP at the end of this season”
Justin Herbert won the 2022 Pro Bowl Offensive MVP. Additionally, Herbert became the first Chargers player to win the Offensive MVP at the pro bowl since Dan Fouts in 1983.
Why Richard Sherman’s Opinion Matters
This is huge praise coming from a player like Richard Sherman. He is a member of the NFL’s All Decade Team of the 2010s. He has gone against some of the greatest QBs on the biggest stages. As a 5-time All Pro CB, he has faced Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes all in the Super Bowl. Sherman knows the difference between an average Quarterback and a great one. He is not afraid to speak his opinion either. He does not even view Rams QB Matthew Stafford as a hall of famer after winning the super bowl in his first year out of Detroit. Comparatively, he was sold on Herbert the first time he saw him play as a rookie. If what Sherman says comes to fruition, the Los Angeles Chargers are bound to make noise in 2022
