Brandon Short is a career quality starter — a pass rusher whose body of work places Short in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Short's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A edge rusher with a above-average career — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 38 points of value above a freely-available replacement linebacker — top 52% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 5 of 6 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +7.6 on average.See board →
