Why Ace Parker ranks #287 in American Football

Ace Parker ranks 287th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2615th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 84, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full American Football reference universe of 340 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1937–1946 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1940, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nfl mvp awards 1, all-pro selections 3, career passing yards 4744, career interceptions 17.

Immediately ahead sits Red Grange on 83.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dick Butkus on 83.6. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
