Why Lance Alworth ranks #155 in American Football
Lance Alworth ranks 155th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2061st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 76, Honours 86, Statistics 90. 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 1962–1972 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1967, 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 receiving yards 10266, receiving touchdowns 85, all-afl selections 7, consecutive games with a catch 96.
Immediately ahead sits Terry Bradshaw on 86.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jack Christiansen on 86.7. 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.
