Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert expressed his disappointment and respect for retiring teammate Mike Williams during a press conference. The two had formed a strong bond over their years together on the team, with Herbert calling Williams “a reliable guy in clutch situations.” He praised Williams’ reliability and ability to make plays when it mattered most.
Herbert acknowledged that the loss of a player like Williams is difficult to overcome, but expressed confidence in the team’s receiving corps. Despite Williams’ retirement, he sees potential for growth and improvement from the remaining players.
“I’m just hoping for the best for him,” Herbert said. “Football is a game, and there’s more to life than just football.” The Chargers will support their former teammate through this transition.
