Who Has The Most Passing Yards In The NFL 2020?
Contents
The 2020 NFL regular season is just around the corner, so we thought we’d take a look at which quarterback is projected to have the most passing yards.
NFL 2020 Passing Leaders
As the NFL 2020 season comes to an end, we take a look at the leaders in passing yards. Topping the list is Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Tom Brady with 4,633 yards, followed by New Orleans Saints’ Drew Brees with 4,334 yards. In third place is Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers with 4,299 yards.
Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens is the 2020 NFL Passing Leader with 3,127 passing yards.
Patrick Mahomes
From the very beginning, it was abundantly clear that Patrick Mahomes was something special. The son of a former Major League Baseball player, Mahomes quarterbacked Texas Tech to some of the most prolific offensive numbers in college football history. He then followed that up by being drafted 10th overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Mahomes wasted no time making an impact at the professional level. In his first year as a starter, he led the Chiefs to a 12-4 record and a divisional playoff berth. The following season, he took his game to another level, throwing for 50 touchdown passes and leading the Chiefs to a 12-win season and a berth in the AFC Championship game.
And then, in his third year as a starter, Mahomes cemented his status as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history by throwing for 4,000 yards and 26 touchdowns while leading the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl title in 50 years.
There’s no question that Mahomes is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. And with still yet to reach his prime, there’s no telling how many passing yards he’ll rack up over the course of his career.
Tom Brady
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady once again leads the NFL in passing yards heading into Week 17 of the 2020 season. Brady has thrown for 4,104 yards so far this season, which is just ahead of second-place Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys, who has thrown for 4,099 yards.
Brady is no stranger to leading the league in passing yards. In fact, he has done so in 12 different seasons, including each of the last three years (2017-2019). In total, Brady has now thrown for 69,192 yards in his career, which is fourth all-time among NFL quarterbacks.
So far this season, Brady has thrown for 29 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. He will look to add to his totals in Week 17 as the Patriots take on the New York Jets.

He has been selected to two Pro Bowls, earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2018, and helped the Cowboys to an NFC East division title in 2016.

Why do some NFL quarterbacks have more passing yards than others?
There are many reasons why some NFL quarterbacks have more passing yards than others. The most important factor is the quality of the offensive line. If a quarterback has a good offensive line, he has more time to throw the ball and complete a pass. Additionally, the quarterback’s skill level and the quality of the receivers also play a role in the number of passing yards.
They have a strong arm
In the NFL, there are a lot of great quarterbacks. Some QBs have a stronger arm than others. This allows them to make throws that other QBs can’t make. In general, the stronger the arm, the more passing yards the QB will have. Of course, this isn’t the only factor that determines how many passing yards a QB will have in a season.
Some other factors that can affect a QB’s passing yards include:
– The quality of their offensive line
– The quality of their receivers
– The offensive scheme of their team
– The quality of the opposing defenses they face
They are accurate
The answer to this question is that they are accurate. Some quarterbacks have a stronger arm and can throw the ball further down the field, but accuracy is the most important factor in determining how many passing yards a quarterback has. The most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL will often have the most passing yards because they are able to complete more passes for longer distances.
They have good receivers
Quarterbacks with good receivers tend to have more passing yards than those without. This is because good receivers are able to get open more often, allowing the quarterback to complete more passes. Additionally, good receivers are often able to break tackles and gain more yards after the catch, further boosting the quarterback’s passing yardage total.
