The 5 Least Efficient Red-Zone Quarterbacks in 2017

Marcus Mariota, Tennessee Titans

Passing NEP per drop back: -0.26

The next interception Marcus Mariota throws in the red zone will actually be the first of his career. This nugget does little, however, to hide the fact that the Tennessee Titans signal caller was a long way away from being an efficient red-zone quarterback in 2017.

Mariota was not among the league leaders in pass attempts inside the 20-yard line -- 20 players attempting more passes than his 49 -- but only two players threw touchdown passes less frequently than Mariota. He managed just six, which came out to a 12.24% rate. As mentioned before, there were no interceptions, but he was sacked four times.
