One of the most underrated moves made by Tom Telesco and Brandon Staley ahead of the 2021 season was signing Chase Daniel to be the backup to Justin Herbert.

Add in that the young quarterback currently working alongside Daniel in Los Angeles is none other than Justin Herbert and it’s easy to see how much that decision two years ago paid off.
