He threw 48 TDs for 5,084 yards in just the second season of his career and led the league in passing TDs and passing yards the two seasons after that and averaged around 24 TDs and 4,000 yards per season for the rest of his time in the NFL. Dan Marino, 420 touchdown passesĭan Marino is known for being one of the best passers in NFL history. Not only is he 8th in TD passes, but he’s also fifth in regular and post season wins. He may have had a chance to be higher up on this list, but he missed a good chunk of the 2019 season with an injury. Ben Roethlisberger, 418 touchdown passesīen Roethlisberger retired last season at the age of 39 after 18 years in the NFL. In his best season (2016), Ryan threw for 4,944 yards and 38 touchdowns. As one of the active players on this list, he still has a chance to lead the league in touchdown passes on a season.
Matt Ryan, 368 touchdown passesĪt 37 years old, Matt Ryan now plays for the Indianapolis Colts, but he spent 14 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons before that. He spent his entire career with the New York Giants and had 57,023 passing yards with 366 touchdown passes. The younger of the Manning brothers spent 16 seasons in the NFL and retired at age 39. The last quarterback to do that was Drew Brees in 20.Īlong with Brady, there are two other active players in the top ten all-time passing touchdown leaders in the NFL, but they would have to do a lot of work to catch up to him.
Interestingly, he has never been the leader in passing touchdowns on the season for consecutive seasons. He’s had the most time to accomplish that statistic as he’s just starting his 23rd year in the league at age 45, the longest of any quarterback. The all-time leader in passing touchdowns in the NFL is Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady.
