Why T.Y. Hilton ranks #150 in American Football
T.Y. Hilton ranks 150th among American Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 1623rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 78, Statistics 90. 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 2012–2022 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes pro bowls 4, receiving yards titles 1, career receiving yards 9942, 1,000-yard seasons 5.
Immediately ahead sits Dwight Stephenson on 82.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Patrick Willis on 82.2. 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.
