The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Skrine'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 (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 52 points of value above a freely-available replacement cornerback — top 44% of all 4,666 ranked at the position. 6 of 11 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +8.7 on average.See board →
