5 NFL quarterbacks with the most interceptions since 2015
NFL quarterbacks are arguably the most important players in the sport, especially in the modern style with which the game is now played. They have the biggest impact on the success of their teams and are generally the focal point of a franchise.
While quarterbacks often seek to lead the NFL in most statistical categories, one that they would rather not sit near the top of is interceptions thrown. Turning the ball over can be crucial to the outcome of any game, so interceptions are always best avoided.
Here are five quarterbacks who have thrown the most total interceptions since the 2015 NFL season.
#5 - Matthew Stafford - 76 interceptions
Matthew Stafford has filled up the stat sheet on both positive and negative sides since the 2015 season. He has thrown 192 touchdown passes to go along with his 76 interceptions, both high enough to be ranked in the top five.
Stafford is the only quarterback ranked in the top five for both touchdowns and interceptions during this time period. He has long been labeled as a gunslinger-style quarterback, and these two statistics prove that theory correct.
#4 - Matt Ryan - 79 interceptions
Matt Ryan makes this list more due to volume rather than carelessness with the football. Ryan has played in every regular-season game since the 2009 season and has attempted 4,087 passes since the beginning of the 2015 season.
Matt Ryan has thrown 4 interceptions so far this season.
here they are. 😂 https://t.co/XotqqPmjjx
Ryan has thrown an interception on just 1.9 percent of his passing attempts since 2015. No quarterback in the top 12 has thrown an interception on a lower percentage of their passes than Ryan, proving his total is more cumulative.
