Why Tim Brown ranks #73 in American Football
Tim Brown ranks 73rd among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1717th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 92, Honours 84, Statistics 94. 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 1988–2004 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes receptions 1094, receiving yards 14934, pro bowls 9, receiving touchdowns 100.
Immediately ahead sits Warren Sapp on 88.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Joe Schmidt on 88.3. 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.
