Justin Herbert's leadership speaks to Chargers, who say 'He's got that dog mentality'

"He's definitely, like, one of the best quarterbacks in the league," Ford said.

"We've anointed him, but he doesn't seem to be in the category with those guys," former quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said.

"He's a true leader," center Bradley Bozeman said. "He's got that just dog mentality,... and he's gonna expect excellence out of you."

Herbert is close to becoming the third player with 3,000 yards and 20 touchdown passes in each of his first five seasons, joining Manning and Russell Wilson.
