JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Jaguars will travel cross-country this week and get a close-up look at the quarterback they could have — probably should have — drafted in April.
Justin Herbert has been beyond impressive since taking over for Tyrod Taylor, who was initially sidelined with a punctured lung in Week 2. Herbert has thrown for 1,195 yards, with nine touchdowns and three interceptions, in four starts for the Los Angeles Chargers (1-4).
It’s one of the best four-game stretches for a rookie quarterback in NFL history, right up there with Cam Newton (2011) and Andrew Luck (2012).
