Justin has moved without any limitation through the 1st week of the camp. Yesterday, Herbert sprinted into the end zone for a score in an 11-on-11 period and celebrated with teammates.

Justin’s reserve, Easton Stick, went without a victory in his team’s final 4 matches. Stick, Max Duggan, and Casey Bauman are the other QBs in the organization.
