Chargers Justin Herbert praises rookie Quentin Johnston Hes young but hes going to be something special

Over the past couple of seasons, the ' offensive production has not nece sarily matched the level of talent on hand. Some of that is due to injuries to several key players, but some of it was also laid at the feet of former offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi. That's why the Chargers made a change this offseason, bringing in former coordinator to run their offense.But they didn't just bring in a new coordinator. L.A. also Mike Montgomery Jersey added an explosive player via the draft in former TCU wideout . And the early returns on David Ross Jersey Johnston are quite good -- at least, according to the guy who will be throwing him pa ses."He's a playmaker. He's going to make a lot of plays for us," said Wednesday, . "He showed up and we knew early that we've got a special guy out there. He's done a great job picking up the offense so far. He's young, but he's going to be something special. So, it's been fun to watch him so far." LAC WR #1 Johnston is supposed to help the Chargers make more big plays, an area Kris Bryant Jersey where they have been surprisingly lacking over the past two years. His speed and run-after-catch ability give the Chargers a different look from what they have with (more of a slot/po se sion receiver) and (a big, physical, contested-catch receiver). "I think that's always the goal for an offense -- having those explosive plays through the run game or the pa s game," Herbert said. "Kellen, he's got such a great mind Brandon Morrow Jersey . He's done a great job of interpreting exactly what he wants for this offense. It's a clear me sage for us as an offensive unit."Even with Johnston in the fold, Herbert did acknowledge that it's also nice having Williams back on the field after the receiver mi sed several games with ankle i sues last season. "He's such a special player," Herbert said. "Any chance you got him out there -- whether it's a go-ball, whether it's an intermediate route -- he's going to find a way to be open, and he's going to catch the ball. He's going to come down with it."As for his own role in the new offense, Herbert thinks it's pretty simple: "My job is just to get them the ball and Ian Happ Jersey something good will happen." Sounds easy enough. Now we just need to see it in action.
