What happened: Baker Mayfield ranks second with 7 drops, followed by Aaron Rodgers with 6. Patrick Mahomes, Tyler Shough, Malik Willis and Matthew Stafford are tied at 5 each.
Why it matters: Drops separate receiver execution from quarterback accuracy in efficiency evaluations. The four-way tie at five shows the rest of the listed group clusters well behind Love's total.
By the numbers: Jordan Love 9; Baker Mayfield 7; Aaron Rodgers 6; Patrick Mahomes 5; Tyler Shough 5; Malik Willis 5; Matthew Stafford 5.
What to watch: Watch whether catch rates stabilize as samples grow and lineups settle in October.
