A video of Jim Harbaugh seemingly using a prohibited item near the Los Angeles Chargers bench during their win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday is making the rounds online.
Harbaugh, in his first year with the Chargers following a national championship-winning season with the Michigan Wolverines, has coached his new team to a 4-3 record so far.
He masterminded a 26-8 win over New Orleans in Week 8, during which he was spotted putting something that looks like a Zyn into his mouth while on the sideline.
Check out the video below:

Social media is convinced the Chargers HC did, in fact, pop a Zyn.
“Legend,” a fan wrote.
“That’s my coach!” said another.
“NFL Gonna bathing in no Nicotine fines shortly,” said a third.
“Zyns are forgiven, you’re only going to get a letter. Go for it coach!” a fan joked.
“Zyns are so nasty imo,” another said.
“Baker did it better,” someone else wrote.
Jim Harbaugh Could Get A Letter From The NFL
Jim Harbaugh could hear from the NFL soon if this really was a Zyn.
The league only just reminded Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield of its policy when it comes to such products after cameras caught him popping one while sitting on the bench during last week’s ‘Monday Night Football’ fixture against the Baltimore Ravens.
Mayfield could have been fined for his actions, as the NFL prohibits nicotine use in games and during interviews; however, they opted to send him a letter.
Surprisingly enough, the product’s manufacturer has also condemned Mayfield, advising that their pouches shouldn’t be exposed to an audience expected to have people below the age of 21.
