The 'NFL running back receiving leaders' quiz

Created on October 2, 2025 | Total tries: 160 | Average Score: 14.9 out of 33 (45%) | Quiz FAQ

The San Francisco 49ers take on the Los Angeles Rams on ‘Thursday Night Football,’ and they’ll be doing it without quite a few key players.

Heading into the big early season divisional matchup, the Niners will be missing quarterback Brock Purdy, wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Juwan Jennings and star tight end George Kittle. But they will still have one of the best dual-threat running backs in the NFL in Christian McCaffrey.

McCaffrey played just four games in 2024, but has already matched that heading into Week 5. He has just 225 rushing yards without a touchdown so far in 2025, but he’s added another 305 yards and two TDs on 31 receptions for San Francisco.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. McCaffery will move into 11th-place all-time on the NFL’s running back receiving-yards list with his second yard on ‘Thursday Night Football.’ With that being said, can you name every NFL running back with at least 3,500 receiving-yards in their career can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
