Eric Reid is a career quality starter — a defensive back whose body of work places Reid in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Reid's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A defensive back with a top 30% among starters — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 77 points of value above a freely-available replacement safety — top 33% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 6 of 7 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +12.8 on average.See board →
