Pair of Chargers named to PFWA 2020 All-Rookie team

The Los Angeles Chargers got a lot out of their first-round picks this past season.

The Chargers got plenty of production out of two rookies this past season, both of whom were selected in the first-round of the 2020 NFL draft.

Those two were quarterback Justin Herbert and linebacker Kenneth Murray, who were named to the 2020 All-Rookie team, voted by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA).

In addition, Herbert was named the 2020 Rookie of the Year and the Offensive Rookie of the Year.

The former Oregon product finished with 4,336 yards, 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, breaking multiple records along the way and coming up just 38 yards shy of passing the rookie passing yard record held by Andrew Luck.

Herbert is currently the front-runner to win the prestigious Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Meanwhile, Murray recorded 107 tackles, three passes defended and one sack in his rookie season. The former Oklahoma product experienced growing pains right off the bat, but he made consistent growth week in and week out.
