See it: Chargers’ Justin Herbert, Quentin Johnston gets reps together for first time

Justin Herbert linked up with his newest weapon for the first time on Monday.

Phase 2 of the Chargers’ offseason program continued at Hoag Performance Center in Costa Mesa, CA, on Monday.

Following the team’s rookie minicamp, most of the veterans took the field, marking the first time quarterback Justin Herbert and his newest weapon, wide receiver Quentin Johnston, linked up.

In his media availability this past Friday, Johnston said that Herbert hadn’t reached out to him since he was drafted but had followed him on Instagram.

It’s good to see Herbert and Johnston getting reps and developing chemistry early on.

The former TCU product will use this summer to refine his route running and clean up drops that he dealt with in college, but there is still plenty of excitement surrounding the speed and yards-after-the-catch ability he is bringing to the offense.
