Sherman Williams is a career quality starter — a running back whose body of work places Williams in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Williams's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A running back with a top 30% among starters — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (exceptional availability — almost never missed time) added to their value.
Worth 43 points of value above a freely-available replacement running back — top 50% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 4 of 4 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +10.8 on average.See board →
