1. Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals

Carson Palmer was great in just about every area of passing this season, and he certainly excelled on 3rd down.

Leading an Arizona Cardinals offense that ranked first in overall offensive efficiency, Palmer's performance on 3rd-down shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

He led the league in both Passing NEP (65.79) and Success Rate (51.69%) on 3rd-down throws while completing 64.8 percent of his passing attempts. He also led the league in touchdown passes (15) on 3rd down.
