The Athletic released a piece Monday in which five coaches and seven front-office executives gave their opinions on the top 25 players in the 25-and-under age range leaguewide.
After the results were compiled, it was Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert who earned the top spot at his position, barely beating out Philadelphia Eagles signal-caller Jalen Hurts.
The Athletic's Mike Jones wrote the following on that front:
"The Chargers star faced stiff competition from Jalen Hurts. But Herbert — who has passed for 5,000-plus yards once and 4,000-plus yards twice — has a larger body of work, so he earned the edge.
