Why Bob Brown ranks #263 in American Football
Bob Brown ranks 263rd among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2508th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 1964–1973 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1969, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes pro bowls 6, all-pro selections 6, seasons played 10, games started 126.
Immediately ahead sits Turk Edwards on 84.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Edgerrin James on 84.3. 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.
