Why Aqib Talib ranks #113 in American Football
Aqib Talib ranks 113th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1411th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 84, Statistics 90. 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 2008–2019 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2009, 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 5, career interceptions 35, interception return touchdowns 10.
Immediately ahead sits Chad Johnson on 84.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ed Reed on 84.5. 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.
