Why DeAndre Hopkins ranks #82 in American Football
DeAndre Hopkins ranks 82nd among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1267th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 82, Statistics 92. 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 2013–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, 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 career receiving yards 12500, pro bowls 5, first-team all-pro selections 3, career receptions 984.
Immediately ahead sits Adam Vinatieri on 85.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mike Webster on 85.8. 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.
