The 'NFL all-time rushing leaders' quiz

Created on October 31, 2025  |  Total tries: 172  |  Average Score: 24.0 out of 32  (75%)  |  Quiz FAQ   

The Baltimore Ravens got off to a slow start to the 2025 NFL season, but their dominant ‘Thursday Night Football,’ performance against the Miami Dolphins is more what Ravens fans were expecting. Lamar Jackson threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns without an interception in his return from injury, while Derrick Henry posted his third 100-rushing-yard effort of the season and second in three games. 

The performance put Henry at 12,052 rushing yards in his career, making him just the eighth player in NFL history with at least 12,000 yards and 100 rushing touchdowns. Remarkably, this was the first game this season Henry has gone over 100 yards in a Ravens win.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Henry ranks 17th all-time in rushing yards in NFL history. With that being said, how many of the players to rush for at least 10,000 yards in their career can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
