2025 season · Quarterbacks, 27 qualifiers

Quarterback-Fault Sack Rate

Quarterback-Fault Sack Rate — 2025 NFL rankings, updated Sep 17, 2026. Geno Smith (LV) took more sacks of his own making than any other quarterback, on 4.6% of his dropbacks across 27 qualifying players. Based on verified play-level charting from FTN Data via nflverse, regular season only. Through the 2025 season.

Not every sack belongs to the offensive line. Charters mark the ones where the quarterback held the ball past the play's expiry, drifted up into pressure that was going to miss him, or missed an open receiver with time to throw. As a share of dropbacks that is the portion of a team's sack total the passer carries himself, and it is the reason two quarterbacks behind identical protection can post sack numbers that look nothing alike.
