Anthony Hargrove is a career quality starter — a pass rusher whose body of work places Hargrove in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Hargrove'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 50 points of value above a freely-available replacement edge rusher — top 45% of all 4,642 ranked at the position. 5 of 7 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +10 on average.See board →
