Justin Herbert is on pace to accomplish an outstanding feat.
Herbert needs 631 more passing yards to surpass the record for the most passing yards in a player’s first five seasons.
Currently held by Peyton Manning (20,617), Herbert must average 158 yards per game over the next four weeks to surpass the record.
Herbert surpassed Jameis Winston for the second-most passing yards in a player’s first five NFL seasons in the first half of the Chargers’ Week 13 win over the Falcons.
Herbert has had one of the least productive passing seasons, averaging just 212.6 yards per game. But he’s still been as sharp as ever and has done a good job taking care of the football, having only thrown one interception.
