Justin Herbert was under-recruited out of high school because he was busy being a leader

The first thing I notice in Justin Herbert’s high school highlights is that he truly looks like a player who does not belong there. Maybe it’s just the uniforms, but it kinda reminds me of “what if Carson Wentz played on a high school team? like right now?”

I kind of hate highlight reels for that reason. You can’t get a feeling of a player by watching a series of 10-second clips spliced from random games and missing virtually all of the context. You know a player better by watching a whole game, and many of them, but highlight reels do serve functions.
