Why Cliff Harris ranks #132 in American Football
Cliff Harris ranks 132nd among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1497th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 88. 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 1970–1979 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1973, 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 super bowl titles 2, pro bowls 6, career interceptions 29, first-team all-pro selections 4.
Immediately ahead sits Sam Huff on 83.8, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Dick Butkus on 83.6. 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.
