What happened: Qualification required at least 25 attempts traveling 20 or more yards downfield. PFF separately graded Darnold at 95.5 on deep throws, fourth among 43 qualifying starters.
Why it matters: Completion rate measures catches on targeted passes, while charted accuracy can produce a different order. Maye led the latter measure at more than 39%, underscoring the distinction between results and ball placement.
By the numbers: Purdy finished 1.2 percentage points ahead of Darnold and 5.2 points ahead of Maye. Darnold led Maye by 4.0 points.
What to watch: Their 2026 deep-attempt volume and efficiency will test whether last season's order holds.
