The Chargers selected Herbert with the No. 6 pick of the 2020 draft and he took over the starting job after a freak injury to then-starter Tyrod Taylor. He then went on to have a fantastic rookie season in which he set the record for most touchdowns and completions by a rookie.

He beat out Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson for the award.
