Why A.J. Green ranks #123 in American Football

A.J. Green ranks 123rd among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1455th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 80, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full American Football reference universe of 381 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2011–2022 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, 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 pro bowls 7, career receiving yards 10514, 1,000-yard seasons 6, career receptions 727.

Immediately ahead sits Stefon Diggs on 84.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Rob Gronkowski on 84.1. 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.
