The second installment of Mark Schofield’s Interception Project continues at Matt Waldman’s RSP with an examination of Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert.

When the season began, it was assumed that the battle for QB1 would come down to Herbert and Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Well, the Rise of Burrow obviously played a part, as perhaps did the injuries suffered by Tagovailoa, but Herbert has largely receded from that race.

I remain optimistic about Herbert. I believe he is a first-round prospect with talents and traits fit for an NFL quarterback. His Rose Bowl performance might help boost his stock as well, but others remain skeptical. A study of his six interceptions this season might help to illustrate where areas of concern with him lie.

For the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), pre-order the 2020  Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95 available for download April 1.  

If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2019 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.  

Best, yet, 10 percent of every sale is set aside until the RSP has reached its annual goal of donating $5,000 Darkness to Light to combat sexual abuse.
