  1. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars – 4,269 yards, 23 passing TDs
  2. Zach Wilson, New York Jets – 3,993 yards, 20 passing TDs
  3. Justin Fields, Chicago Bears – 3,187 passing yards, 18 passing TDs
  4. Trey Lance, San Francisco 49ers – 2,464 yards, 16 passing TDs
  5. Mac Jones, New England Patriots – 1,410 yards, 7 passing TDs
