Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert wasted no time in making a name for himself in the NFL, so much so that one former Denver Broncos player believes he’s better than Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. 

Longtime NFL offensive tackle Ryan Harris, who won his first Super Bowl with the Broncos in 2016, gave Herbert his vote of confidence during an appearance on CBS Sports Radio’s "The D.A. Show," when asked about how he thought Denver would fare in the AFC West this season.

"I think the AFC West is really going to be led by the Los Angeles Chargers. I mean Justin Herbert is the best quarterback I’ve ever seen, and I played with Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger," Harris said. "This guy is unbelievable."

"This is who the Broncos are going to be chasing," he added. 

When pressed further about the bold claim, Harris doubled down: 

"I played with Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger and I’m telling you, Justin Herbert is the best quarterback I’ve ever seen. It’s unbelievable what he does. It is something that’s only going to continue to increase. He’s got the most talented arm in the NFL."
