Why Sebastian Janikowski ranks #134 in American Football
Sebastian Janikowski ranks 134th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1507th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 92, Honours 74, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full American Football reference universe of 381 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2000–2018 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity 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 career points 1913, field goals made 436, longest field goal (yards) 63, seasons played 18.
Immediately ahead sits Dick Butkus on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bruiser Kinard on 83.6. 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.
