NFL Scout Compares Justin Herbert's Arm to Aaron Rodgers: 'Truly Rare Skill Set'

After an impressive first two seasons in the NFL, Los Angeles Chargers star Justin Herbert is drawing comparisons to one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

"He's got Aaron Rodgers-like arm talent and just a truly rare skill set," one scout said of Herbert, per Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus.

The scout picked Herbert over Joe Burrow as the top young quarterback going forward, but he acknowledged they were close.

"Obviously, Burrow is awesome. He’s an absolute stud, but the way the ball comes off Herbert’s arm is different. From an intangible/leadership standpoint, they’re similar, too—both guys that teammates love to play with and rally around.
