Why Greasy Neale ranks #306 in American Football

Greasy Neale ranks 306th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2726th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 86, 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 1916–1924 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1920, 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 world series titles 1, world series batting average 357, professional football seasons 3, career receptions 30.

Immediately ahead sits Odell Beckham Jr on 83.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jason Witten on 82.8. 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.
