Why Stan Jones ranks #228 in American Football
Stan Jones ranks 228th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2335th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 88, Longevity 86, 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 1954–1966 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1960, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nfl titles 1, pro bowls 7, seasons played 13, games played 166.
Immediately ahead sits Russ Grimm on 85.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Art Donovan on 85.4. 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.
