Darren Woodson is a career quality starter — a defensive back whose body of work places Woodson in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Woodson's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A high-end defensive back defined as much by exceptional availability — almost never missed time as by their on-field impact (top 20% all-time). Coaches and teammates could count on them being available.
Worth 101 points of value above a freely-available replacement safety — of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 9 of 10 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by on average.
