Passing attempts by distance (1 Viewer)

Can anyone point me to where I can find either the number of attempts or % of passes thrown for certain distance ranges, for multiple years, please?

I'm looking for the NFL as a whole, not just one team or player.

For example, for year XXXX, of all the pass attempts in the NFL, X% of the passes were up to 10 yards, Y% from 11-20 yards, and Z% for 21+ yards.

Looking for data back to 2005, if available.

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

 
Not an ESPN insider and might be a poor lead here but trying...I do notice many ESPN reporters post charts of where the passes were and that's it's from ESPN stats dept. I would guess if they're making those charts, stat guys would also chalk it down too

Based on these deep passing stats, I think that PFF has it somewhere in their data. Need a sub, though, to potentially access it. https://www.profootballfocus.com/about/pff-signature-stats/#DeepPassing

 
Thanks for the help folks. I'll look into those suggestions. I do have ESPN Insider access so maybe I can parse their stats data. Thanks.

 
I believe you might be able to find these stats on pro-football-reference.com with their advanced search function.

You can't see distance here but iy does break down pass attempts by short left, short right, deep left, deep middle etc. etc.

Just click on play direction reports on the left hand menu. If i run across a better breakdown anywhere else I'll post it here.

Same data from above in ss

This is great and should do the trick! This will probably help many others here also. Thank you for the help.
