Ranking Justin Herbert's five best throws from the 2021 season

4. Philadelphia Eagles week 9 - 49 yard bullet to Mike Williams
Herbert's arm strength and deep accuracy were on full display against the Philadelphia Eagles during their Week 9 clash when the Oregon product delivered an absolute missile to WR Mike Williams for a 49 yard gain. With the game tied 10-10 in the 3rd quarter, Herbert rolls out of the pocket to his right and delivers a throw 49 yards down the field to the opposite hash. This throw is mightly impressive because of the accuracy and velocity it required. Eagles corner Darius Slay had blanket coverage on Williams, yet the Chargers QB was able to place it in a spot where only the receiver could come down with it.
W/ the deep S expecting flood, @Chargers WR Mike Williams is able to leverage on the deep post, creating a window for QB Justin Herbert. Here, @MattBowen41 takes to the tape on this stapled shot play in the #BoltUp offense. #NFL
