“It was really fun with him,” Herbert said. “He’s so smart and such a great coach, leader, friend. There’s no surprise why they’re doing so well. He’s such a great coach. Definitely enjoyed our time with him. I learned a lot from him, wish I had more time to learn from him-how smart he was. But I wish him nothing but the best.”

Many considered Herbert’s rookie season the most exciting of his career, perhaps until this season. Steichen has done a terrific job wherever he’s gone, as he’s worked with big players such as Philip Rivers, Jalen Hurts, and Daniel Jones.
