Justin Herbert is one of the NFL’s fastest-rising stars, but the Chargers quarterback has a hard time getting comfortable in the spotlight.
Despite playing in Hollywood, he shies away from the prying eyes of the media and was visibly displeased to have a camera trained on him while preparing to speak to a reporter at the Chargers’ media day on Monday.

On his approach to the set of the interview, Herbert can be seen slyly flipping the bird at the camera.
Herbert’s desire to keep to himself relative to the prying eyes of the press and the Chargers’ social media team is well documented. Still, the earnest nature of the interactions makes for great content. Perhaps he will someday get his wish to be left alone but for now, he will have to get away with whatever he can to get the cameras pointed in another direction.
