The 'Running back receiving-leaders' quiz

There have been some big names on the move in the NFL over the past few days, but one player who’s future is still up in the air is veteran running back Alvin Kamara

Kamara – who has spent his entire nine-year career with the New Orleans Saints – is now almost 31 years old and coming off a season of career-lows in games played (11), rushing yards (471) and just a single rushing touchdown. With New Orleans bringing in Travis Etienne to bolster the backfield, Kamara said he’s ready for whatever his future holds. 

“It’s a business on both sides, both for the team and the player,” he said when asked about his future in the Big Easy.

“You’ve got to treat it like a business so you don’t get caught off guard. So nothing’s catching me off guard, man.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. While Kamara has never reached the 1,000-rushing-yard milestone in his career, his ability as a receiver out of the backfield has more than made up for it over his career. With that being said, can you name the NFL running backs to record at least 3,500 receiving-yards in their career?

Good luck!
