I’d love to be the Author that gets the book deal to Justin Herbert’s life down the road. That’s going to be a great book.

Justin Herbert won the fans and media votes for Rookie of the Year and some people are still out here saying Jefferson this and that.
The guy was just unlucky. Any other year his exceptional season would have won.
But 41-9, does a lot of heavy lifting in the argument here.
