The Los Angeles Chargers are focused on helping their star quarterback, Justin Herbert, secure his first playoff victory as he enters his fourth season. With Herbert's health largely intact, the team has turned its attention to the backup quarterback position, where Trey Lance has emerged. After a competitive offseason battle against Taylor Heinicke, who has since retired, Lance has earned a second contract. His performance during the preseason will be crucial, especially as backup quarterbacks are often called upon in the NFL. Recently ranked 15th among backup quarterbacks by Gilberto Manzano of Sports Illustrated, Lance's past with the Dallas Cowboys was marked by challenges, including a failure to secure the QB2 role behind Dak Prescott. However, he has found a new opportunity with the Chargers, gaining the trust of head coach Jim Harbaugh following a strong preseason last summer. With six career starts, Lance's stats include five touchdowns and five interceptions, and he aims to improve his standing in the league this summer.
