“Makes Me Feel Weak”: Jim Harbaugh Reveals Why Justin Herbert Leaves Him Feeling Powerless

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert may not have achieved NFL glory in their two years together. However, they have built a distinctive pregame ritual that has become a hallmark of their partnership.

During a segment on Sports Central LA, host Darren M. Haynes asked Harbaugh to do the hype move with him, with shoulder pads on, just like he does with Herbert. As the head coach did that, Haynes exclaimed, “He hits them kind of hard. No wonder why Justin Herbert was thrown off the first time you did that.”

“No, Justin, it makes me feel weak when I do that to Justin. Because it’s just like, is that all you got? I mean, he’s a beast,” Harbaugh replied on Sports Central LA.

Harbaugh and Herbert have been bonding well since the head coach joined in 2024. That year he started this tradition of slapping and pushing hard on the QB’s shoulder pads. According to ESPN, Herbert actually thought the head coach was coming in for a hug, but Harbaugh kept with his slapping-the-shoulder-pads routine.
