Training camp takeaways: Quentin Johnston, Justin Herbert and secondary impress new coach Jim Harbaugh on first day of summer practices.
The Chargers' new facilities in El Segundo buzzed with excitement as training camp opened with a practice going full throttle — minus the shoulder pads. Still, fans at least caught a glimpse of the team's potential. Much like the fiery spirit of their new head coach, Jim Harbaugh, the energy levels were high — and first-day jitters were evident. Some takeaways from Day 1 of practice: Last season, first-round draft pick Quentin Johnston faced criticism for his production.
“He's mastered everything in terms of the offense — the plays, the cadences, and the defensive structure with protections,” Harbaugh said. “The amount of work he's put in is incredible.” Early in the practice, Herbert and the new receiving corps looked a bit out of sync. As practice progressed, however, they began to connect, especially when they worked against the defense in the red zone.
