3. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks

Aside from a historic second half of the regular season from a raw statistical perspective, Russell Wilson was also extremely efficient on 3rd-down throws this season.

Wilson completed 66 percent of his 3rd-down throws, tossing 12 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions. He ranked third in Passing NEP per play and fifth in Success Rate on 3rd down, as well.

Wilson's second half, based on his advanced metrics, was basically unmatched since 2000, and his 3rd-down performance definitely helped.
