Cade Otton is a career quality starter — a tight end whose body of work places Otton in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Otton's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A tight end with a top 30% among starters — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (exceptional availability — almost never missed time) added to their value.
Worth 77 points of value above a freely-available replacement tight end — top 33% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 4 of 4 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +19.3 on average.See board →
