Ed Oliver is a career quality starter — a pass rusher whose body of work places Oliver in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Oliver's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A top 20% all-time edge rusher with reliable availability and excellent per-snap efficiency. The rarest archetype in the game — dominance, efficiency, and health in one player.
Worth 108 points of value above a freely-available replacement interior lineman — top 23% of all 4,666 ranked at the position. 6 of 6 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +18 on average.See board →
