For Patrick Herbert, he’s trying to be more than just “Justin’s little brother” in 2021, fighting for that starting tight end job with the likes of Spencer Webb, Terrance Ferguson, Moliki Matavao, Cam McCormick, and DJ Johnson.
Shaking the “Justin’s little brother” label won’t be easy. Sure, it’s more than OK to point out the obvious that the two are brothers, but Patrick wants to forge his own path.
