Why Forrest Gregg ranks #17 in American Football
Forrest Gregg ranks 17th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1360th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 94, Statistics 90. 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 1956–1971 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1963, which sets the Peak component at 92. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nfl titles 6, pro bowls 9, consecutive games played 188, all-pro selections 7.
Immediately ahead sits Ray Nitschke on 90.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Ted Hendricks on 90.2. 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.
