Why Andre Reed ranks #101 in American Football
Andre Reed ranks 101st among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1367th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 88, 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 1985–2000 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career receptions 951, career receiving yards 13198, pro bowls 7, receiving touchdowns 87.
Immediately ahead sits LeRoy Butler on 85.2, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Steve Hutchinson on 85.0. 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.
