Why Jack Butler ranks #291 in American Football
Jack Butler ranks 291st among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2632nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 74, Honours 80, 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 1951–1959 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1956, 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 career interceptions 52, interceptions in one game 4, pro bowls 4, all-pro selections 3.
Immediately ahead sits Bruiser Kinard on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Steve Van Buren on 83.5. 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.
