Why Harold Carmichael ranks #203 in American Football
Harold Carmichael ranks 203rd among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2256th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 82, Statistics 92. 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 1971–1984 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1979, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes consecutive games with a catch 127, career receptions 590, receiving yards 8985, receiving touchdowns 79.
Immediately ahead sits Alan Faneca on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Joe DeLamielleure on 85.8. 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.
