Stroud's 62.0 PFF grade and 23 turnover-worthy plays signal significant 2025 regression.

Stroud regressed significantly in 2025, posting a 62.0 PFF passing grade ranked 34th among 43 qualifying quarterbacks including postseason play, and committed a career-high 23 turnover-worthy plays (10 in two postseason games vs. Pittsburgh and New England). His 35.5 PFF passing grade under pressure ranked fourth-worst among qualifying QBs, and he tied for the league lead in interceptions thrown under pressure with 8. The source notes that based solely on 2025 stats, his #17 PFF ranking might even be generous.
