COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers players are noticing something different about quarterback Justin Herbert lately.
He’s more vocal. His voice is heard in the locker room. And he’s seen smiling a lot more, all according to edge rusher Khalil Mack.
“He’s coming around as a leader,” Mack said.
Once seen as a quiet presence who intently went about his business, Herbert appears “more comfortable in every setting,” wide receiver Keenan Allen said.
“[On the] sideline, in the huddle before we got out, in the huddle breaking us down,” Allen said.
