David Onyemata is a career quality starter — a pass rusher whose body of work places Onyemata in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Onyemata's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A edge rusher 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 125 points of value above a freely-available replacement interior lineman — top 18% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 9 of 10 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +13.9 on average.See board →
