A great career by KV-H: a peak-driven profile that scores 79 of 100, era-normalized against rec yds/g peers across 10 scored seasons.
Blend 77.4 × longevity 1 = KV-H 79· confidence 100%
Season-by-season quality (era-relative rec yds/g)
Ranked #349 of 600 by seasons where high individual production happened on low-win teams. Score aggregates only tracked StatVault categories.
Reached 43% of the all-time Receiving Yards leader — a solid all-time profile at the position.
A 0–100 scale where 100 = matched the all-time leaderat this position. Built only from visible encyclopedia data — career production vs. the all-time leader, plus efficiency (EPA) and comparable-player confidence — so it's a transparent context score, not a subjective rating. Tiers: Elite ≥ 85 · Strong ≥ 65 · Solid ≥ 45 · Depth < 45. Comparable-player confidence: 94%.
Production per snap — the box score normalized by opportunity. SIS is z-scored within wide receivers, shrinkage-regularized so small samples don't spike, over the NFL snap-count era (2012+).
Amber = this player (normalized to own peak). Indigo = average wide receivers aging curve. Group peak age: 25. Source: StatVault KV-H era (1999+).
Percentiles compare each raw measurement against position peers, the full combine pool, and the same draft class where enough samples exist.
