Frank Sanders is a career quality starter — a receiver whose body of work places Sanders in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Sanders's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A high-end wide receiver 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 138 points of value above a freely-available replacement receiver — top 16% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 8 of 9 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +17.3 on average.See board →
