The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Mamula's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A high-end edge rusher defined as much by exceptional availability — almost never missed time as by their on-field impact (top 20% all-time). Coaches and teammates could count on them being available.
Worth 92 points of value above a freely-available replacement edge rusher — top 28% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 5 of 5 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +18.4 on average.See board →
