Jim Harbaugh‘s arrival at the Los Angeles Chargers has brought fresh energy and bold ambitions, particularly for quarterback Justin Herbert.
During a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Harbaugh revealed how the team’s new additions could transform Herbert’s performance on the field.
The conversation took an intriguing turn when Harbaugh shared something unexpected.
A dream had sparked a powerful vision for Herbert’s career path, one that extends far beyond just winning games.
“I just woke up the other day and said, I got to get Justin Herbert to the Hall of Fame,” Harbaugh said. “That would mean winning a couple of Super Bowls. A lot of people would benefit. So that’s a worthy goal, and I think it’s necessary that we get him surrounded by as many different football players at his level as possible.”

While Hall of Fame recognition represents football immortality, Herbert seems more focused on team success and championship rings.
His unselfish approach has always defined his leadership style, something Harbaugh clearly values.
To help Herbert reach these lofty heights, the Los Angeles Chargers front office has been busy acquiring new offensive weapons.
The additions of running back Omarion Hampton and wide receiver Tre Harris could provide Herbert with the supporting cast needed to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West.
These pieces might finally give the talented quarterback the tools to maximize his potential.
Last season showcased Herbert’s efficiency despite challenging circumstances.
He completed 65.9% of his passes for 3,870 yards with 23 touchdowns against just three interceptions.
This marked his most efficient season since entering the NFL in 2020.
With Harbaugh’s vision and new playmakers in place, Herbert stands at the threshold of what could become a career-defining season.
