I wonder what percentage actually try to throw the ball 25+ yards in the air?
Not many. Out of the 1,118 3rd and 25+ since 1999, only 151 of them have had a pass attempted that was longer than 10 yards. Only 44 of them have had a pass attempted longer than 25 yards, to answer your exact question. That is 3.9%. Of those 44 attempts, four were converted, or 9%.
