KV-H Anatomy
KV-H 68 · Strong Starter
A strong starter career by KV-H: a well-rounded profile that scores 68 of 100, era-normalized against tackles/g peers across 5 scored seasons.
VAL 3.0 measures each part of a NFL player's game in his sport's own currency against what that season's fringe players produced, converted to team wins with rates fitted from every team-season in the encyclopedia. Team wins are the club's actual regular-season wins; a traded season, or one whose club record is missing, shows no share.
Peak-aligned view: center line is each player's best Tackles season; left/right show build-up, staying power, and decline. Comparison set uses same-position, overlapping-era comps when available.
