Why Frank Gore ranks #56 in American Football
Frank Gore ranks 56th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1142nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 96, Honours 80, Statistics 94. 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 2005–2020 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career rushing yards 16000, pro bowls 5, seasons played 16, games played 241.
Immediately ahead sits Emmitt Smith on 86.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ken Houston on 86.8. 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.
