Yards per pass attempt

In American football, yards per pass attempt (YPA) is a metric commonly used to assess the efficiency of a quarterback’s passing game. The calculation involves dividing the number of passing yards gained by the number of pass attempts. The outcome is usually indicated by yards per pass attempt (YPA).

A higher YPA suggests that a quarterback is adept at generating yards per pass, indicating a potent passing game. Nevertheless, it is crucial to consider additional factors like completions, interceptions, and touchdowns to evaluate a quarterback’s overall performance.
