Julian Blackmon is a career quality starter — a defensive back whose body of work places Blackmon in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Blackmon's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A top 20% all-time defensive back who consistently made an impact across multiple seasons. Lower snap-level production reinforces the playmaking ability.
Worth 80 points of value above a freely-available replacement safety — top 32% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 4 of 5 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +20 on average.See board →
