The 'NFL yearly rushing leaders in the Super Bowl Era' quiz

Derrick Henry has been a workhorse running back in the NFL for the last seven years, recording at least 200 carries each year since 2018 and leading the league in touchdowns on three occasions. While he fell just short of the 2,000-yard mark in 2024, he now has some extra motivation to get reach that milestone in 2025. 

After revealing to Dan Patrick that Adam Sandler is Henry's favorite actor of all time, the veteran radio host said he'd get King Henry a part in an Adam Sandler movie if he hits 2,000 yards. 

"Alright, cool. Say no more," Henry said. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. Henry is one of just nine running backs to rush for at least 2,000 rushing yards in a single season. With that being said, how many of the NFL rushing leaders during the Super Bowl era can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
