Marcus Stroud is a career quality starter — a pass rusher whose body of work places Stroud in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Stroud's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A edge rusher with a top 30% among starters — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 72 points of value above a freely-available replacement edge rusher — top 35% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 8 of 10 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +9 on average.See board →
