Why Alan Faneca ranks #84 in American Football
Alan Faneca ranks 84th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1279th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 86, Statistics 86. 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 1998–2010 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1999, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes super bowl titles 1, pro bowls 9, first-team all-pro selections 6, games started 201.
Immediately ahead sits Mike Webster on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Curley Culp on 85.7. 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.
