Happy 30th birthday to three-time Pro Bowl running back and inaugural College Football Playoff champion Ezekiel Elliott!

Elliott was drafted fourth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and led the NFL 1,631 rushing yards as a rookie before doing it again in his second full campaign in 2018. After spending the 2023 season with the New England Patriots, Zeke returned to Big D for what was an underwhelming 2024 all-around for the Cowboys.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to lead the NFL in rushing for the season since 2000 can you name in five minutes?
