Malcom Brown is a career quality starter — a pass rusher whose body of work places Brown in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Brown's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A edge rusher with a above-average career — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 56 points of value above a freely-available replacement interior lineman — top 42% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 6 of 7 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +9.3 on average.See board →
