Hapy 35th birthday to former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks running back as well as 2013 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Eddie Lacy!

Lacy only played five years in the NFL after being selected in the second round of the 2013 draft out of Alabama, but for a time was one of the best power rushers in football. In 60 career games he rumbled for 3,614 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground, while adding another 947 yards and six scores through the air.

Which brings us to today's quizSince the 2000 season, 34 players have topped 1,000 or more rushing yards in their first season in the NFL. How many of the 34 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
