Happy 43rd birthday to three-time Pro Bowler, two-position member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame All-2010’s team and 14-year NFL veteran, Darren Sproles!

Selected by the Chargers in the fourth-round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of Kansas State, Sproles began his professional career mostly as a kick and punt returner – a role he would excel in even as he became an actual offensive weapon. The diminutive running back earned a reputation for his speed and agility, regularly making defenders look silly in the open field.

While he was mostly used as a gadget-guy on offense, he was a very consistent returner. He led the NFL in punt return yards and touchdowns in both 2014 and 15, combining for 11,313 yards and nine touchdowns between kick and punt returns in his career.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. In his many roles throughout his 14-year career, Sproles racked up the sixth-most All Purpose Yards in NFL history with 19,696. With that being said, how many of the e NFL players to eclipse 15,000 All-Purpose Yards can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
