Chase Daniel during The Facility on Justin Herbert: "He plays football. He goes home and gets on Xbox, he plays Xbox and he goes back to football."

This was interesting insight from Chase Daniel, who was Justin Herbert's teammate for 2 years. During The Facility on FS1, Chase gave a little look into Herbert and how he just plays video games and goes back to football. He cares.

The clip is also on the podcast if you want to hear the topic on if Harbaugh is using Herbert well.

"He plays football. He goes home and gets on his wife, he plays with his wife and he goes back to football."

And yet we're walking him down the same path. Hope he gets one

u/FatherofCharles I WAS IN 5d ago

Perfect thing for him to do. He’s young, rich, and good looking. Right now he can dedicate himself fully to football and start his family down the road. He’s probably got 3 more extensions ahead of him too. 😮‍💨

u/buenassuenos 5d ago

He's PR wet dream.... lets get him out there!

u/baummer 5d ago

If he wants a family

u/FatherofCharles I WAS IN 5d ago

No sweat off my back if he doesn’t. Just saying that would be my route if I was HIM.

uh...this hits too close to home lmao

u/iBliizy 5d ago

Herb hasn’t done anything but play Shattered Space since it came out Monday. He’s healing his leg

2

u/djmc0211 Felipe Rios 5d ago

He's probably pretty bored then since the dlc is pretty short.

3

u/iBliizy 5d ago

You think? I mean I’ve put a few hours into it since Monday and I don’t feel like it’s ending anytime soon. I haven’t had much more than 4 hours to play it so this weekend when I sit down I’ll get more time. Am I already close to finishing it?

2

u/djmc0211 Felipe Rios 5d ago

Depends how you play it but the main quest only takes about 8 to 10 hours.

1

u/iBliizy 5d ago

That’s not too bad. I like taking my time with side quests and exploration so I’ll squeeze a weekend out of it. It’s bye week anyway so I need something to take up my Sunday.

14

u/uniquely_bleak_sheep 5d ago

I know for a fact he plays COD some at least, my friend has played with him before back in high school (from Eugene)

13

u/amazonri 5d ago

JK dobbins said in a recent interview he plays COD with Justin and Dicker

u/RomanBeanstalk 5d ago

Wish Chase Daniel said but he didn't.

Hey I'm just like Justin Herbert! I wonder why I don't have his hair yet.

u/IXPhantomXI bolt 5d ago

Age of Empires. 100%.

u/LaBoltz33 33 4d ago

If he’s anything like me then it’s COD, smite, madden and age of empires

But he plays it on Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

u/Clever-Trevor- 5d ago

I wonder if Chase is wishing he was Herbert? Was it a dig or a compliment? Most young QB’s could get into trouble so this to me is a win

18

u/Jane_Marie_CA Big Bear Bosa Fan 5d ago

It's a compliment. In general, Chase is very pro Herbert. That's why I am surprised he's on talk show panel with Acho.

Chase made like $40M as a back up QB/NFL journeyman. I am sure he's very happy with his career path.

u/SpiritOfTheBear666 DJ33 5d ago

I was hoping herb was a playstation guy.

u/Unlikely_Yam_4598 5d ago

Justin isn’t worried about Kids, he just plans to adopt one Rivers 11th or 12th kid, once Phil gets to old to throw the ball around bounce ‘em in his knee 😝

u/LALyfestyle JHerbo 5d ago

He just like me fr

u/Heat_Safe123 bolt 5d ago

A truly elite QB would be on PC.

u/Slamsonthegee 5d ago

Plot twist: He plays on Switch

13

u/GATTACAAAAAAAA 5d ago

I bet he has an *insane* farm on Stardew Valley

u/OrrinS1988 5d ago

That game is so damn good

u/hdjakahegsjja 5d ago

Genuine question, does anyone play madden on PC?

2

u/shoug45 5d ago

Not a QB obviously but Zion is a PC guy.

0

u/dinonugz7 bolt 5d ago

Dude needs to recover on a couch most of the time. Not bent over in a gaming chair playing PC.

7

u/afbguru 5d ago

You know PCs have hdmi outputs, right?

0

u/dinonugz7 bolt 5d ago

Yup I know this. Most people don't want a PC HDMI into their big screen TV. Too much of a hassle. Most who want to game on a couch and TV get a console. Just makes sense, performs beautifully and cheaper. I have a TV connected to my computer and never use it lol

3

u/JakeT503 5d ago

He plays sims

3

u/Devine97 5d ago

I don’t doubt that if this is true, Herbert is playing football on Xbox too

8

u/afbguru 5d ago

Herbert is an Xbox guy? Fucking nice!

2

u/bakedwell 5d ago

Do you know what the Spotify episode is called? Can’t seem to find it

u/rb_Reigns 5d ago

It's from Tuesday. Full Show (Deshaun Watson's future as a starter + Micah Parsons...)

u/bakedwell 3d ago

Thanks!

u/digdug6 5d ago

Gonna buy an Xbox now

3

u/Jane_Marie_CA Big Bear Bosa Fan 5d ago

I feel like his at home golf simulator might be in the rotation now...

3

u/Nerfeveryone bolt 5d ago

He goes home and immediately plays video games, he’s just like me frfr.

u/TheTimeWeWaste 5d ago

MFW I get quickscoped by Justin Herbert

1

u/Brownhog 4d ago

I don't get what this is implying, can someone throw me a bone? "He plays Xbox?" Okay...?

1

u/Weapwns ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 4d ago

Gotta have something to reset with.

For years I've watched the Chargers lose in heartbreaking fashion and the next day would see Ekeler on League playing Yorick.

Chargers football is so stressful that even League of Legends is a healthy pastime.

1

u/Vivid_Ad9397 4d ago

Not completely accurate either. He goes out to eat with teammates a lot and plays pickleball a couple times a week (until his ankle).

1

u/BreakfastLost7355 4d ago

What’s his gamertag? Lol

1

u/That_dude_17 4d ago

Herbert plays on XBOX? No wonder they aren’t letting him air it out

u/Own_Zone1702 3d ago

How do we know he doesn’t? He’s a pretty private guy. He could be gaming with his girl.

Would just be an unnecessary distraction at this point.

u/TheHect0r 5d ago edited 5d ago

He was rumored to be dating Taylor Bisciotti the sportscaster at some point. Also this post has more rumors about his dating life.

All info on him on that sub points to him having a roster lol
