The Los Angeles Chargers are gearing up for an exciting 2024 season with quarterback Justin Herbert and head coach Jim Harbaugh leading the charge. This duo aims to elevate the team's performance and deliver a thrilling season for fans.

The 2023 season was challenging for the Chargers, especially for Herbert, who suffered a season-ending injury to his right index finger, causing him to miss the final four games. Despite this setback, Herbert's resilience and toughness were evident to his teammates, including backup quarterback Easton Stick.

"He [Herbert] had battled stuff the last couple of years," Stick said. "There were some points where we were like, 'shoot, here we go again.' He's so dang tough. We were playing Baltimore, Sunday Night. The lights are off; it's TV timeout all that stuff, he's in the tent, I'm warming up, running out onto the field, and he runs out of that tent like he's dang Superman, and he's running out there like 'I'm good, I'm good.' He's unbelievable, an incredible athlete and a warrior. It's been neat to see his evolution and growth, his growth, especially as a leader and as a teammate."

Herbert's physical presence on the field is undeniable. Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 236 pounds, he has the build to withstand the physical demands of the game. His durability is impressive, having played in 62 of a possible 67 games in his career. The injury last season was a rare instance that sidelined him, but it highlighted his ability to push through adversity.

As the Chargers look forward to the new season, Herbert is determined to play a full schedule and lead his team to success. His toughness and leadership will be crucial as the Chargers aim to make a significant impact in the league.
