Corey Widmer is a career quality starter — a linebacker whose body of work places Widmer in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Widmer's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A high-end linebacker defined as much by excellent availability over their career as by their on-field impact (top 20% all-time). Coaches and teammates could count on them being available.
Worth 88 points of value above a freely-available replacement linebacker — top 29% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 6 of 8 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +14.7 on average.See board →
