Why Pete Henry ranks #218 in American Football

Pete Henry ranks 218th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2305th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 78, Honours 86, Statistics 86. 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 1920–1928 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1924, 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 all-pro selections 3, nfl titles 1, longest drop-kick field goal 50, longest punt 94.

Immediately ahead sits Leroy Kelly on 85.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Chris Hanburger on 85.6. 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.
