Why Dutch Clark ranks #301 in American Football
Dutch Clark ranks 301st among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2706th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 68, Honours 86, 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 1931–1938 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1935, 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 1, first-team all-pro selections 6, nfl scoring titles 3, career points 369.
Immediately ahead sits Drew Pearson on 83.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Joe Guyon on 83.1. 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.
