Connor Barwin is a career quality starter — a linebacker whose body of work places Barwin in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Barwin's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A linebacker 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 40 points of value above a freely-available replacement linebacker — top 51% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 7 of 9 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +5.7 on average.See board →
