This critical new L.A. addition is ahead of the game this offseason.
New Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. is already forging a connection with Pro Bowl quarterback Justin Herbert, according to. He inked a one-year, $3 million deal with Los Angeles as a free agent, following a yearlong stint with the Carolina Panthers.
During a presser Monday, the 6-foot-3 wideout explained that Herbert sent him a text almost as soon as he signed to introduce himself and begin developing chemistry with his new pass catcher. "He's a top-five QB in this league any given year, you know?" Chark said. "Being here and seeing the way that he works and catching passes from him, the timing has been great."
"I've played with many QBs in my career so being able to play with an elite guy is definitely something I'm excited to do," Chark explained. "I feel like he can help me in a lot of different ways.""Everything always starts with competing," Chark said. "That's what this game is about, that's the nature of this game.
"Having a quarterback like Justin, that's something he excels at," Chark added. "It's only going to bring me up a notch. Justin is the type of quarterback that elevates the guys around him, so why be a part of something like that?"
