Why Dick LeBeau ranks #96 in American Football
Dick LeBeau ranks 96th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1799th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 90, Honours 84, Statistics 94. 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 1959–1972 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1967, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career interceptions 62, consecutive games played 171, pro bowls 3, seasons played 14.
Immediately ahead sits Jim Langer on 87.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Morten Andersen on 87.8. 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.
