The '3,000 touches in an NFL career' quiz

Happy 51st birthday to three-time Pro Bowler, 1997 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year and 2004 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award winner, Warrick Dunn!

After being selected 12th-overall out of Florida State in the 1997 NFL Draft, Dunn rushed for 978 yards while adding another 462 as a receiver and seven total touchdowns. Dunn was a workhorse for almost all of his 12 NFL seasons, racking up at least 200 touches in each full campaign he played in (and still got to 162 in his injury-shortened 2003 season). 

Dunn turned those opportunities into 15,306 total yards from scrimmage in his career with five 1,000-rushing-yard efforts. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Dunn’s usage is amongst the highest in NFL history, with his 3,179 touches ranking 17th all-time in league history. With that being said, can you name the 20 players with at least 3,000 touches in his career?

Good luck!
