Created on May 15, 2025  |  Total tries: 28712  |  Average Score: 45.3 out of 53  (86%)  |  Quiz FAQ   

Happy 59th birthday to five-time Pro Bowler, 1991 Offensive Player of the Year, 2007 Pro Football Hall-of-Fame inductee and starting running back for the tragic Buffalo Bills that famously lost four-straight Super Bowls.

The "Therminator," played 13 seasons in his NFL career, rushing for over 1,000 yards eight years in a row -- retiring after 2000 with 12,074 career rushing yards and 65 touchdowns to go with another 4,458 receiving yards and 23 touchdown catches. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. The AP has awarded its Offensive Player of the Year Award to the NFL's most outstanding offensive player since 1972. How many of the NFL OPOYs can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
