Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert Featured in Latest Nike Ad Campaign

One of the biggest professional names to come out of the Oregon Ducks football program, and one of the most private figures in football is Los Angeles Chargers' starting quarterback Justin Herbert. Herbert famously doesn't interact much with press or social media, presenting with an often misunderstood reserved persona.

But this week during the off-season, Herbert took some time off from his hobbies of fishing and raising farm animals to star in sportswear brand Nike's newest campaign, "24.7". In photos posted to the Chargers' and Ducks' social media page, a black and white Herbert poses for portraits taken by photographer and filmmaker Ellington Hammond.

Hammond also recently shot Oregon alumna, Sabrina Ionescu, for a campaign for Nike Basketball.

Usually, a promotional photoset wouldn't go viral on social media, but because Herbert is known to be so offline, fans were thrilled to see extra content from the former Duck. In the past, even the Chargers' social media accounts that shared this new Nike photo set have poked fun at how the quarterback is often avoiding the spotlight.

“I think people are worried about leadership and me being a pretty quiet guy,” Herbert said before being drafted in 2020. “But I would say I’m not too quiet. I’ll talk your ear off. So there are these things I want to be transparent with. And give a good representation of myself.”

According to the sportswear company, the "24.7" line Herbert models taps into the mindset of an athlete with pieces meant to be "tailored for all-day comfort, style and function." The line launched in late January of this year.

With how new this line is for Nike, it's not too far of a stretch for Duck fans and Charger fans to think there will be more content from their favorite off-line athlete.
