Why Bobby Mitchell ranks #330 in American Football
Bobby Mitchell ranks 330th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2876th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, 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 1958–1968 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1963, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nfl titles 1, pro bowl selections 4, career all-purpose yards 14078, career touchdowns 91.
Immediately ahead sits Richard Sherman on 81.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is CeeDee Lamb on 81.5. 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.
