The 'Rushing-TD leaders by NFL season' quiz

Happy 24th birthday to three-time Pro Bowler and Detroit Lions star-running back, Jahmyr Gibbs!

Gibbs was selected 12th-overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he instantly formed one of the most dynamic backfields in the league with David Montgomery. The pair became known as “Sonic and Knuckles,” for their contrasting running styles, with Gibbs taking the role of speedster and big-play threat. 

In just three seasons Gibbs has already racked up 3,580 rushing yards and 39 touchdowns with an additional 1,449 yards 10 TDs on 181 receptions. 

with David Montgomery now in Houston, has a chance to post some staggering numbers as the true feature back in Detroit next season. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. In 2024-25, Gibbs finished in a three-way tie for the league-lead in rushing touchdowns with 16. With that being said, can you name the players to lead the NFL in rushing yards for each season since 1990?

Good luck!
