Danieal Manning is a career quality starter — a defensive back whose body of work places Manning in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Manning's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A defensive back 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 59 points of value above a freely-available replacement safety — top 41% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 7 of 9 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +8.4 on average.See board →
