Months before Morgan Fox signed with the Los Angeles Chargers in May of 2022, he says he was enamored with quarterback Justin Herbert. Fox watched on TV as Herbert converted on deep fourth and third downs in a Week 18 game that the Chargers played against the Raiders at the end of the 2021 season, with a playoff berth on the line.
Still, when he became teammates with Herbert, Fox looked forward to testing Herbert's mettle. After a play during practice, Fox smacked a football out of Herbert's hands, "I just wanted to see how he was going to react," Fox said with a smile.
