Why Chris Hanburger ranks #219 in American Football
Chris Hanburger ranks 219th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2306th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 82, 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 1965–1978 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1972, 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 pro bowls 9, career interceptions 19, defensive touchdowns 5, all-pro selections 4.
Immediately ahead sits Pete Henry on 85.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tony Canadeo on 85.6. 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.
