Why Joe DeLamielleure ranks #204 in American Football
Joe DeLamielleure ranks 204th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2257th 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 84, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 84, Statistics 88. 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 1973–1985 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1977, 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 pro bowls 6, all-pro selections 6, consecutive games played 185, seasons played 13.
Immediately ahead sits Harold Carmichael on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dan Hampton 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.
