Career arc · VAL by season

9 seasons · peak 7.7 in 2025

VAL (Value Above League) measures each NFL season against that season's league; the dashed line is zero — a season that added nothing above the league's fringe. ● peak · ○ league-best season.

What he added · wins above replacement

2.7 career wins over 9 seasons · 1 win = 13.08 VAL

Best season · 2025 · +0.6 wins

Defence+0.6

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.
