Quarterback Pressure Rate
Quarterback Pressure Rate — 2025 NFL rankings, updated Jul 26, 2026. Aaron Rodgers (PIT) was the league's least pressured quarterback, hurried, hit or sacked on 21.0% of his dropbacks across 32 qualifying players. Based on verified 2025 play-by-play data (nflverse); Half-PPR scoring.
Pressure rate is the share of a quarterback's dropbacks on which a pass rusher got home — hit, hurried or sacked. Low is good, so this board runs from the best-protected passer down to the most harassed. The second column matters more than the first: pressure-to-sack rate is largely the quarterback's own doing, and the passers who keep it low are the ones whose offensive line looks better than it is.
