Eagles Carson Wentz lands in the top-3 of QB’s impacted the most by dropped passes in 2019

Carson Wentz had a career year for the Eagles in 2019 and if not for a boatload of drops by his receiving corps, the franchise signal-caller could have destroyed the single-season record books.

According to Anthony Reinhard via Sportsradar, Carson Wentz was among the top-3 quarterbacks in the NFL most impacted by dropped passes.

Here are the quarterbacks who were hurt most by dropped passes in 2019. This shows the total EPA that was lost from a drop if we assume the receiver would have otherwise caught the pass and run for zero yards after the catch. Drops data: @Sportradar, EPA: @nflfastR pic.twitter.com/A11n9LZK1U

Expected Points Added (EPA) is the difference between the Expected Points (EP) at the start of a play and the EP at the end of the play. EPA is the measure of a play’s impact on the score of the game. An individual player’s EPA is the sum of the EPA of the plays in which that player was directly involved.

Even with all of the abuse Nelson Agholor took last season, star tight end, Zach Ertz, led the Eagles in dropped passes with five.
