Roman Harper is a career quality starter — a defensive back whose body of work places Harper in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Harper's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A defensive back with a above-average career — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (exceptional availability — almost never missed time) added to their value.
Worth 64 points of value above a freely-available replacement safety — top 38% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 5 of 11 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +12.8 on average.See board →
