INDIANAPOLIS — A litany of NFL general managers and scouts have attended Oregon Ducks games over the last two seasons to watch Justin Herbert in person.

Cincinnati’s Duke Tobin, Los Angeles Chargers GM Tom Telesco, Miami’s Chris Grier, Las Vegas’ Mike Mayock, Pittsburgh’s Kevin Colbert, Atlanta’s Thomas Dimitroff, Denver’s John Elway, Tennessee’s Jon Robinson, Green Bay’s Brian Gutekunst and Dave Gettleman of the New York Giants were all among the NFL personnel to watch Herbert and the Ducks over the last two years.

Among the group not in the market for a first-round quarterback, Dimitroff was willing to offer his impressions of Herbert.

“Justin of course is a fine athlete,” the Falcons general manager said. “The ability to move the ball and all that he stands for as a total package guy I think is going to be a massive asset to a team. I’ll be interested to see how that all plays out.”

Rumors are circulating as to where Herbert will most likely end up, from the Dolphins at No. 5, the Chargers at No. 6, Carolina Panthers at No. 7, Indianapolis Colts at No. 13 or a team lower in the first round.

Telesco, who attended Oregon’s game at USC last season, did not want to elaborate in detail about Herbert, though the Chargers are almost universally projected to be in the market to draft a quarterback even as the GM maintained the club’s confidence in Tyrod Taylor.

“When we go to those games it’s not to scout one player,” Telesco said. “There are a lot of prospects on both teams and obviously with Justin since he’s a senior we’ve seen a lot of him. I don’t like to talk specifically about football players as far as their ability when they’re in the draft. Probably not a great trait for a GM to have before the draft.

“But I do think his track record speaks for itself for what he’s done in his career and how he did at the end of the season with the bowl game, with the all-star game. He did real nice job.”

Herbert has avoided discussing any team at length and declined to share which teams he has met with throughout the draft process.

“To be honest, I think that’s a situation where anywhere I go I’m happy,” he said. “I know it sounds kind of cheesy and politically correct but it’s not; I’m excited to wherever I go. I just want to play football for as long as I can and to be given a chance to be here at this place is enough for me.”

While LSU’s Joe Burrow announced he will not throw this week and Alabama’s Tua Tagavailoa is still recovering from hip surgery and also sidelined, Herbert said he will throw without the two other presumptive top quarterback prospects even taking the field.

“I want to come out here and I want to do everything, have fun, get better, learn,” Herbert said. “I think it’s all about the long haul. So anything I can do to extend my game is what I’m going to do.”

Most of what could solidify Herbert’s draft stock could come off the field in his medical tests and meetings with teams.

Cincinnati holds the No. 1 pick and the widely held assumption is that Burrow is a lock to be headed to the Bengals, who worked with Herbert during last month’s Senior Bowl.

“Really an impressive guy,” said Tobin, who scouted Herbert in person during Oregon’s game against Arizona last season. “Local, really loved by the community there. At the Senior Bowl he was great for us. He jumped right in, he learned what we wanted, he worked every day to try the techniques that we were showing him. Really did a great job with the playbook. He was an impressive guy. We were happy and fortunate to get to work with him that week.”

Colbert, who attended Oregon’s game at Stanford last season, declined comment on Herbert.

Gettleman, who drafted Daniel Jones last year and seemingly is not in the market to draft another QB, watched Herbert play at Utah in 2018 but could not recall any specifics.

While most observers will weigh in on Herbert’s throwing power and accuracy when he takes the field Thursday night, he was asked, jokingly, for advice he would give NFL Network’s Rich Eisen when he makes his annual 40-yard dash for charity.

“I’m the wrong guy to be giving advice on the 40-yard dash,” Herbert said. “But he’s had some success so he might beat me. I don’t want to give him any advice — I don’t want to mess him up.”
