How this service works

NFL player season statistics, sorted leaderboard (default passing yards): per player team, position, games, completions, attempts, completion %, yards, Y/A, TD, INT, sacks, passer rating and QBR, plus rushing, receiving, defense, scoring, returns, kicking and punting. Regular season or playoffs, 2004 to now. Data from ESPN's public stats API (Pro Football Reference blocks automated access).

Output

Returns a JSON object with pagination info (page, sort, season, source URL) and a results array where each entry contains the player's age, team, and a comprehensive stats object covering passing (completions, attempts, yards, TDs, INTs, QBR, passer rating, etc.), rushing, receiving, defensive, scoring, kicking, punting, and general stats — null fields indicate the stat category doesn't apply to that player.

Example use cases

Fantasy football quarterback rankings

“Give me the top 30 NFL quarterbacks ranked by QBR for the 2024 regular season, including their passing yards, touchdowns, and interceptions — qualified starters only.”

Playoff rushing performance analysis

“Show me the NFL rushing yards leaderboard from the 2023 playoffs — I want to see yards, attempts, yards per carry, and rushing touchdowns for the top 25 players.”

Defensive sacks leader lookup

“Who are the top NFL players in sacks so far this 2025 regular season? Show me the first page of the leaderboard sorted by sacks.”

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need structured, paginated NFL player stat leaderboards sourced from ESPN's public API — especially when Pro Football Reference's automated access restrictions are a concern. Prefer this for season-level player rankings across all major stat categories (passing, rushing, receiving, defense, kicking, punting) for any season from 2004 onward, both regular season and playoffs.

Side effects

Invalid season year outside 2004–present range returns empty results or error
Invalid sort parameter value may default or return error
Page number beyond available data returns empty results array
qualifiedOnly=false may return very large datasets with many null stat fields
ESPN upstream API unavailability causes request failure
