# Jack Markowski — prediction record

Jack Markowski covers the Pittsburgh Steelers for Sports Illustrated, tracking roster decisions, depth chart battles, and player movement through training camp and into the regular season. His reporting ranges from contract holdouts to trade speculation to the occasional detour into a player's unconventional beliefs about Antarctic civilizations.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 100%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 80
- **Graded articles:** 5
- **Graded individual calls:** 9
- **Clarity:** 100%

PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and they are excluded from leaderboards.

The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
