How we rate it

Every rating is era-relative: a player is graded against their own era's peers at the same position, with impact plays counting most and an All-Pro boost. The roster rating is the position-weighted strength of the best 12 — premium spots (QB, edge, corner) count for more, and a single weak link drags the average down. Only a near-flawless roster projects to run the table. Full method →
