Hall of Fame Numbers?
Vinny Testaverde's career rate of 4.5 interceptions for every 100 passes is the second highest among active quarterbacks (minimum 1,500 passes). Only Pittsburgh's Mike Tomczak has a higher percentage (4.6). It is a reflection of the greater precision in the modern-day NFL passing game that there are 13 quarterbacks in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with career interception rates higher than Testaverde's.
