For most of the last 10 years Russell Wilson was the game’s best deep ball thrower, with the possible exception of Patrick Mahomes. This year the new king of the deep ball is Wilson’s former backup, Geno Smith.
While he can’t match Wilson or Mahomes’ range, Smith has been the league’s most accurate and productive passer on throws of 20 yards or more in 2022. He’s also got a near-perfect grade from Pro Football Focus on those balls. PFF says he has a 99.5 grade from 20+ yards.
