Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert goes viral for his off-field choices

Former Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert has made his mark on the NFL, especially since former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh took over the LA Chargers ahead of the 2024 season. As he works to lead the Chargers to a winning season, Herbert has gone viral for some off-field antics.

In a press conference ahead of the Chargers' Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, Herbert took the stage without his usual flowing locs. Immediately, members of the media started to ask questions about his latest hairdo.

Herbert's short, concise answer of where he had chosen to get his haircut went viral. The multi-million dollar athlete had simply gone to his local Sport Clips – nothing fancy, nothing expensive, but exactly what people should have come to expect of the young star.

A day later, the hair dresser gave Herbert a shoutout of his own, thanking the Chargers' quarterback for stopping by and getting his haircut by her.

"Thank you, Justin Herbert for blessing my morning and journey as a barber, and being able to bless you with a fresh cut for your next game," the hair dresser said. "You had me smiling and laughing and it felt so genuine to talk with you for that time in the chair and putting hair on the floor."

Fans immediately fell in love with the barber and thanked her for taking such good care of the beloved LA quarterback.

So far this season, Herbert has thrown for 2,551 passing yards and 13 touchdowns. The (surprisingly) dual-threat QB has also run for 212 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground – not to mention his 10 yard reception earlier this year.

The Chargers kick off against the Chiefs at 5:20 p.m. PT on NBC. The two teams are playing at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO.
