The '10,000-rushing-yard club' quiz

Created on February 15, 2026 | Total tries: 25 | Average Score: 26.8 out of 32 (84%) | Quiz FAQ

Happy 54th birthday to six-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro, 1993 Offensive Rookie of the Year, 2001 Walter Payton Man of the Year and Super Bowl XL champion, Jerome Bettis!

The Los Angeles Rams selected Bettis out of Notre Dame with the 10th pick in the 1993 NFL Draft, and he rewarded them with 1,429 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. After spending three seasons with the Rams, Bettis was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the 1996-97 campaign, where he’d spend the final decade of his career.

Bettis racked up six 1,000-yard seasons in a row in the Steel City, and is second all-time in franchise history in career rushing yards (10,571) and rushing touchdowns (78). In his final year, Bettis won his lone Super Bowl after the Steelers beat the Seahawks 21-10.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Bettis is one of 32 NFL players to rush for at least 10,000 yards in their career. How many of those players can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
