The Los Angeles Chargers took quarterback Justin Herbert with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, but the starting job still belongs to Tyrod Taylor.

Head coach Anthony Lynn clarified the situation, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated:

"We're going into this thing: Day 1, Tyrod Taylor's going to be starting it off. He's earned that right. His teammates respect the hell out of him, he's a leader on this football team. Our young quarterback's gonna learn a lot from Tyrod Taylor.
