Why Tuffy Leemans ranks #295 in American Football
Tuffy Leemans ranks 295th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 2670th of 4013 across every sport in the index.

Immediately ahead sits Eli Manning on 83.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Charles Woodson on 83.2. 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.
