NFL history shows Bradford will likely struggle to repeat last year’s success in 2017

Despite still not being able to lead a team into the playoffs, 2016 went down as an impressive year for Sam Bradford in his first season as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.

Bradford set single-season career highs in completion percentage, passing yards, touchdown to interception ratio, and quarterback rating. His 71.6 completion percentage in 2016 was also the highest ever by an NFL quarterback in the league’s history.

So in 2017, how will Bradford follow up his record-breaking performance from last season? Well if history has any say in how the quarterback will play, his production is likely to experience a bit of regression this year.
