2011 College Net Yards per Attempt Leaders

College play-by-play before 2025 does not record where passes went, so depth, direction, ACE and throw maps start in 2025. Counting stats are the official NCAA season lines.

NY/A = (yards − sack yards) ÷ (attempts + sacks).

The 2011 leaders: Robert Griffin III (10.25), Russell Wilson (9.47), Case Keenum (9.29).

Net Yards per Attempt

Minimum to rank: 15 pass attempts per team game (the NCAA's minimum for passing efficiency). 106 players.
