Los Angeles Chargers training camp preview: Time for Justin Herbert to take the next step

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Chargers open 2022 NFL training camp on Wednesday at Jack Hammett Sports Complex. Here's a closer look at a few storylines.

The player with the most to prove is ... quarterback Justin Herbert: That's somewhat difficult to declare given Herbert's talent and production through two seasons has placed him among the NFL's elite. As a second-year pro in 2021, Herbert's 65.6 total QBR ranked third in the league behind only Aaron Rodgers (69.1) and Tom Brady (68.1). He passed for an eye-popping 5,014 yards (ranked second behind Brady) and 38 touchdown passes (third behind Brady's 43 and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Matthew Stafford's 41).
