Why Andre Johnson ranks #64 in American Football

Andre Johnson ranks 64th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1176th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 94, Longevity 84, Honours 82, Statistics 94. 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 2003–2016 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career receiving yards 14185, career receptions 1062, pro bowls 7, receiving yards titles 2.

Immediately ahead sits Ray Lewis on 86.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Barry Sanders on 86.5. 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.
