Chargers' Ladd McConkey wants MVP conversation for Justin Herbert: 'Don’t know what else he needs to do'

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey believes his quarterback, Justin Herbert, should be talked about more as the NFL's MVP this season.

As we're 10 weeks through the 2025 NFL season, the playoff picture is getting more clear, while frontrunners for individual player awards are coming into a clearer view. 

Of course, the award most talked about is the league's MVP, and it's been a fun debate across the league. 

There's Jonathan Taylor and Daniel Jones shining for the 8-2 Indianapolis Colts, Drake Maye looking like a cool veteran with a New England Patriots team with the same record, and Matthew Stafford looks back in his prime with the Los Angeles Rams.

But there is one name that hasn't been getting the same recognition despite putting up similar numbers, while his team is showing they are a true playoff contender: Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. 

Charger star receiver Ladd McConkey may be a bit biased, but he agrees his quarterback should be right in the conversation alongside the other league leaders. 

"I’m telling you, he’s a stud," McConkey told Fox News Digital while discussing his partnership with Dr Pepper ahead of "The Pepper Portal" heading to his old stomping grounds at the University of Georgia this weekend. "I don’t know what else he needs to do. He’s out there balling.
