Justin Herbert has received plenty of praise from the new head coach.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is among the best in his position in the NFL.

The 25-year-old has broken numerous records through four years in the league, and with Jim Harbaugh now the head coach of the Chargers, many believe he can be even better.

Harbaugh, a former Chargers quarterback himself, has been talking up Herbert since his appointment, as the pair look to build Los Angeles into a Super Bowl calibre team.

And speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, Harbaugh named three other positions he believes the star quarterback could excel in.

"There's not a style of football that Herbert wouldn't excel at," said Harbaugh.

"If you want to talk RPOs, or if was just going to be a running quarterback he could be that.

"Or a drop back pocket passer, he has the potential to be the absolute best at that.

"He could probably go tight end and be a Pro Bowl tight end! He could be your punter, your kicker.

"He'd be a tremendous edge rusher with his length!

"In my press conference yesterday I wanted to send a message, hopefully many heard it, which is that coaches here have to protect this man!"
