Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert recently received an inspiring, albeit explicit, pep talk from his new teammate, offensive lineman Mekhi Becton. In a viral clip circulating on social media, Becton passionately expressed his unwavering support for Herbert, who has faced criticism for his postseason performance, particularly after a disappointing playoff exit in January 2025 against the Houston Texans.
In the video, Becton is heard telling Herbert, “You’re amazing bro. I don’t give a f*** what you say,” followed by an empowering reminder for Herbert to acknowledge his greatness each morning. The encouragement comes at a crucial time for Herbert, who has struggled with confidence after a playoff record that currently stands at 0-2.
Becton, who joined the Chargers on a two-year deal after previously playing with the Philadelphia Eagles, brings valuable experience and a Super Bowl ring to the team. His presence is expected to bolster Herbert’s performance and reduce the high sack numbers he endured last season, where he was brought down 41 times. Despite those challenges, Herbert showcased impressive skills by throwing 23 touchdowns against just three interceptions.
With heightened expectations for the upcoming season, the Chargers have made strategic moves, including adding former Pro Bowl running back Najee Harris and rookie Omarion Hampton to reinvigorate their offensive game plan. Additionally, veteran receiver Keenan Allen has returned, further enhancing the team’s offensive capabilities.
This newfound support and strategic player acquisitions may signify a promising chapter ahead for Herbert and the Chargers, as they aim to overcome past challenges and achieve greater success in the NFL.
