Is Patrick Herbert related to Justin Herbert?

Patrick Herbert was a four-star prospect in the class of 2019 and the No. 1 player from Oregon, according to 247Sports.

One of the primary reasons why he committed to Oregon was the presence of his older brother, Justin Herbert, on the team.

Justin Herbert also had the opportunity to declare for the 2019 draft after completing his junior year, but he opted to return to college football to play with his younger brother.

While speaking to the NFL Network, Justin confirmed this train of thought.

"I think it's one of the best decisions that I've ever made," Justin Herbert said. "I looked at — I wanted to become a better leader, I wanted to become a better teammate, become a better football player, to finish what we started with the group of seniors that we came in with.

"My young brother was going to be on the team and — I don't want to give him that much credit, but — he did play a big part in it. He's a special player, and he's going to be incredible. He's going to be the best of the three brothers, and I'm really excited to see where he's going to go."

Justin Herbert explained the experience of playing with his younger brother on the same team.

"It was cool," Justin Herbert said. "It's an opportunity that not too many people get to experience. Growing up in Eugene made it that much more special as well."
