Why Larry Csonka ranks #160 in American Football
Larry Csonka ranks 160th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2079th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 80, Honours 88, 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 1968–1979 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1973, 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 super bowl titles 2, super bowl mvp awards 1, rushing yards 8081, pro bowls 5.
Immediately ahead sits Andre Johnson on 86.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Pete Pihos on 86.6. 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.
