Isaiah Likely is a career quality starter — a tight end whose body of work places Likely in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Likely's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A tight end 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 56 points of value above a freely-available replacement tight end — top 42% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 4 of 4 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +14 on average.See board →
