It’s most likely the first of many Most Valuable Player awards for former Oregon Duck quarterback Justin Herbert.
Although it wasn’t the league MVP, which is likely in his future, Herbert was more than happy to take home this honor.
Herbert was 7-of-11 for 98 yards and two touchdowns to lead the AFC to a 41-34 victory over the NFC in the Pro Bowl. He threw a pair of scoring passes to Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, both coming in the first half.
This is what NFL.com writer Grant Gordan had to say about Herbert’s performance in Sin City.
It’s been five weeks since Herbert and the Chargers’ season came to a bitter end in Las Vegas and he returned to the scene of the crime Sunday and looked like his sensational self, earning Pro Bowl Offensive MVP in the process. Maybe he wasn’t as dazzling as he was back in defeat back in Week 18, but he was certainly a highlight in the AFC’s win.
The Pro Bowl capped off what was an incredible second season for Herbert. He threw for 5,014 yards and 38 touchdowns for a 9-8 Los Angeles Chargers team that just missed the postseason.
