Why Dan Fortmann ranks #174 in American Football
Dan Fortmann ranks 174th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2130th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 92, 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 1936–1943 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1940, 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 nfl titles 3, all-pro selections 6, seasons played 8, championship games 5.
Immediately ahead sits Orlando Pace on 86.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Harry Carson on 86.4. 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.
