Why Red Grange ranks #286 in American Football
Red Grange ranks 286th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2614th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 72, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1925–1934 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1927, 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 nfl titles 2, all-pro selections 3, seasons played 9, career touchdowns 32.
Immediately ahead sits Cliff Harris on 83.7, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Ace Parker on 83.8. 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.
