Why Jack Ham ranks #28 in American Football
Jack Ham ranks 28th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1014th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 92, Statistics 88. 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 1971–1982 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1972, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes super bowl titles 4, pro bowls 8, first-team all-pro selections 6, career interceptions 32.
Immediately ahead sits Brett Favre on 87.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Antonio Gates on 87.9. 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.
