Why Terry Bradshaw ranks #154 in American Football
Terry Bradshaw ranks 154th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2060th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 78, Honours 92, 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 1970–1983 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1978, 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 4, super bowl mvp awards 2, passing yards 27989, passing touchdowns 212.
Immediately ahead sits Warren Moon on 86.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Lance Alworth on 86.7. 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.
