The '2,000-scrimmage yard NFL seasons' quiz

Happy 47th birthday to four-time Pro Bowler, 1999 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year and 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Edgerrin James!

James played 11 seasons in the NFL, bursting onto the scene as a rookie for the Indianapolis Colts. He led the league with 1,553 rushing yards to go with 13 touchdowns before doing it again as a sophomore with 1,709. By the time he retired, James rushed for 12,246 total yards, scored 80 touchdowns on the ground while catching another 11. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. James also got himself into the elite 2,000-scrimmage yard club – appropriately in the 2000 NFL season. With that being said, can you name every NFL player to rack up 2,000 yards from scrimmage in one year?

Good luck!
