Former Oregon Ducks quarterback is camera-shy, to say the least.
From his time in Eugene with the Ducks to now, where he is among the best quarterbacks in the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers, Herbert is not one to make a scene. He routinely ducks out of the way of cameras, goes the extra mile to stay as dull as possible, and rarely finds himself in the news for things off the field.
However, Herbert has made quite a stir on social media to kick off the week, popping up in a photo with pop star Madison Beer at a filming session.
The two were seen standing near each other, which in today’s day and age is enough to spark speculation that they might be dating. It’s quite rare for fans of Herbert to be discussing their favorite quarterback in this manner, focusing on anything outside of his play on the field. Still, his proximity to a star like Beer is notable, to say the least, especially in an era where Travis Kelce has seen his fame explode following his relationship with Taylor Swift.
There has been no confirmation as to whether the two are in a relationship or merely just friends, but some internet detectives have uncovered the fact that Beer is liking posts of Herbert on the Chargers’ Instagram, despite not following the Chargers’ account. Neither Herbert nor Beer follows the other on Instagram.
Thankfully, we are just a couple of weeks away from the NFL season starting, with Herbert and the Chargers taking on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in São Paulo, Brazil, to kick off the season on September 5 at 5 p.m. PT. Hopefully, that means that we can focus on what Herbert is doing on the football field, rather than off of it.
