Jake Ferguson is a career quality starter — a tight end whose body of work places Ferguson in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Ferguson's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A high-end tight end 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 72 points of value above a freely-available replacement tight end — top 35% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 4 of 4 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +18 on average.See board →
