Heath Sherman is a career quality starter — a running back whose body of work places Sherman in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Sherman's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A high-end running 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 75 points of value above a freely-available replacement running back — top 33% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 5 of 5 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +15 on average.See board →
