Why Jared Allen ranks #42 in American Football
Jared Allen ranks 42nd among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1072nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 84, Honours 86, Statistics 92. 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 2004–2015 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career sacks 136, pro bowls 5, first-team all-pro selections 4, sack titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Dwight Freeney on 87.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Julio Jones on 87.6. 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.
