The Los Angeles Chargers offense grabbed a new, shiny toy during the 2025 NFL Draft. Rookie wide receiver Tre Harris will join the fold for Jim Harbaugh's club, and there's plenty of excitement about his upside in the offense.

The duo of quarterback Justin Herbert and Harris has plenty of fans talking. That being said, how is the rookie pass catcher adjusting to the life in the NFL?

Tre Harris discusses early impression of Justin Herbert

In a recent press conference, the young wideout showed incredible confident in his quarterback. He has learned quickly how much attention to detail Herbert has in his game.

"Whenever I first got out there, before even minicamp for just OTAs with the vets, I immediately knew he was different, to be honest with you. Just the ball placement and his attention to detail with everything is supreme."

"Every throw to me has been on the money."

It's nice to see the connection showing up early and often between the two. It didn't take long for Harris to notice the talent Herbert possesses. Last year, LA lacked a multitude of receiving threats. They'll expect plenty from Harris in 2025.

Harris also discussed how he's dealing with the velocity of Herbert's throws. The quarterback has a massive arm, and it can be an adjustment for players entering the pros if they join a team with a rocket arm QB. That's the case for the Ole Miss product.

"I haven't had too much of a problem with it. I catch with my hands out there, I'm going to go out there and make every catch I possibly can."

"If it's on the money, I'm going to make the catch."

-- Chargers rookie WR Tre Harris

Confidence. Camaraderie. Dedication. Three factors that seem evident in this Chargers offense. Jim Harbaugh is probably proud.
