# LaVar Arrington — prediction record LaVar Arrington played linebacker in the NFL for seven seasons after Penn State, drafted second overall by the Washington Redskins in 2000 and later a member of the New York Giants. Since retiring, Arrington has built a broadcasting career that includes pregame and postgame work for Comcast SportsNet, a weekday radio show on 106.7 The Fan in Washington, D.C., a stint on NFL Network's NFL AM, and time as a football analyst on FS1's Speak For Yourself. In September 2021, Arrington joined Brady Quinn and Jonas Knox as a host of 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio's morning drive show, where the predictions graded here appear. The calls cover game outcomes, playoff races, division winners and conference champions across the Eagles, Ravens, Vikings, Chiefs, Steelers, Broncos, Chargers and Bengals, along with individual players such as Deshaun Watson, Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. ## Is LaVar Arrington accurate? Across 41 graded calls in 5 articles, LaVar Arrington scores 39.71% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of -4.82, which means their calls were worse than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 39.71% - **MissedTakes Score:** -4.82 - **Graded articles:** 5 - **Graded individual calls:** 41 - **Clarity:** 100% - **Hedged:** 20% of claims - **Right when hedging:** not enough data - **Right when committing:** not enough data 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.
