The '2,000 scrimmage yards in a single NFL season' quiz

Derrick Henry lived up to the hype he brought along with him from Tennessee to Baltimore, rushing for 325 times for 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns. Now the Ravens are rewarding the 31 year old with a two-year, $30 million extension with $25 million guaranteed -- the largest contract ever for a running back over the age of 30. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. Between Henry in Baltimore and Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia, paying running backs is coming back into fashion in the NFL. With that being said, a player has reached 2,000 or more yards from scrimmage in a single NFL season on 71 occasions. How many of the 71 can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
