2017 NFL ACE per 100 Attempts Leaders

ACE per 100 attempts: completions above expected for every hundred throws. It is the fair way to compare a starter who threw 600 times with one who threw 300.

How to read it. +3.0 is excellent; 0 is average; −3.0 is well below.

The 2017 leaders: Drew Brees (+6.3), Josh McCown (+5.7), Jameis Winston (+4.5).

ACE per 100 Attempts

Minimum to rank: 14 pass attempts per team game (the NFL's minimum for passing rate leaders). 32 players.
