Elite NFL QB with Oregon Roots, Now a Top-5 Starter After Injury Comeback
Justin Herbert, the 6'6", 236-lb former Oregon Ducks QB, is now a top-tier NFL quarterback ranked No. 5 by PFF entering the 2024 season, having rebounded from a 2023 finger injury that ended his season in four games. Before the injury, he started 62 consecutive games—the second-longest active streak among QBs—and set the league record for most passing yards (14,039) in his first three seasons. His strengths include elite arm talent, rare rushing ability (first QB since 2006 to rush for 3 TDs in the Rose Bowl), and high-intensity leadership. With a 5-year, $262.5M contract and 94 career TDs vs. 35 INTs, he's a proven fit for any team seeking a franchise QB with championship upside.
