Howard Griffith is a career quality starter — a running back whose body of work places Griffith in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Griffith's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A running back with a above-average career — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (exceptional availability — almost never missed time) added to their value.
Worth 30 points of value above a freely-available replacement running back — top 58% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 6 of 7 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +5 on average.See board →
