Why Benny Friedman ranks #182 in American Football
Benny Friedman ranks 182nd among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2171st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 74, Honours 86, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full American Football reference universe of 340 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1927–1934 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1929, 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 nfl titles 1, passing touchdown titles 4, touchdown passes in 1929 20, all-pro selections 4.
Immediately ahead sits John Mackey on 86.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Paddy Driscoll on 86.2. 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.
