Herbert is the confirmed Week 1 starter for the Chargers coming off his second Pro Bowl season in which he matched his career high with 11 wins. Though he was among NFL leaders with 54 sacks taken and was the most pressured quarterback in the league last year with 288 defensive pressures faced, his pressure-to-sack ratio of 20.8% was eighth in the league despite the high volume of pressure. The Chargers should have no doubt that he's their guy entering 2026, and if the offensive line can stay healthy, Herbert's pairing with new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel should pay dividends for Los Angeles' offense.
