Study: Which QB Draft Prospect Best Solves The Steelers Woes Over The Middle?

A factor that has been lacking from Pittsburgh’s passing attack has been throwing over the middle of the field. Today, I wanted to look at how college quarterbacks fared in this regard, focusing on combine invites.

First, let’s look at over-the-middle attempts (for quality), and one of the best quality stats out there in Adjusted Net Yards/Att (ANY/A), which is Passing yards – Sack Yards + (20 * Passing TD) – (45 * Interceptions)) / (Passes Attempted + Times Sacked).

Two quarterbacks stick out above the rest of their draft class in over the middle ANY/A.
