Why Ed Healey ranks #299 in American Football
Ed Healey ranks 299th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2684th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 1920–1927 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1924, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes all-pro selections 5, nfl titles 1, seasons played 8, games played 78.
Immediately ahead sits Lynn Swann on 83.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Drew Pearson 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.
