Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was awarded the NFL AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award at Saturday’s NFL Honors.
Not many anticipated Herbert earning the award, let alone having the type of season that he did, which included multiple broken records.
After being forced to start in Week 2 against the Chiefs, Herbert took the driver’s seat and it was all gas, no breaks for the former No. 6 overall selection.
Herbert set rookie records for total touchdowns (36), passing touchdowns (31), completions (396), multi-passing touchdown games (10), games with eight 300 yards passing and six three-passing touchdown games. He was just 39 yards short of Andrew Luck’s rookie record of 4,374 yards passing.
American rapper Snoop Dogg had the honors of narrating the sensational season of Herbert on the telecast.
