Ryan, Brees rank in top three most accurate QBs against the blitz

Published Jun. 30, 2015 11:27 p.m. ET

The simple thought of 300+ pound defensive players weighing down on you as you look down the field trying to find an open receiver is pretty scary. At least, it's pretty scary to the normal, everyday fan, but apparently not nearly as much to the likes of Matt Ryan and Drew Brees. The two NFC South signal callers from the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints rank in the top three in terms of most accurate quarterbacks against the blitz over the last three seasons, according to Pro Football Focus.

That's a pretty impressive group right there, but what's even more impressive is the actual percentages. A 67.2 and 66.9 completion percentage is impressive in its own right, but doing it against a blitz? Well, that's just flat out stellar.
