The Surprising Leader in Career Rushing Yards That Football Fans Can’t Stop Talking About
His MVP season was one for the ages, as he racked up 2,053 yards at 6.1 yards per carry and 128.3 YPG. His career was recently recognized with a new statue outside of Ford Field.
5. Adrian Peterson: 14,918 Yards
Peterson is the final member of the top five after falling just short of the 15,000 mark for career rushing yards.
Similarly to Gore, he is helped by playing across so many seasons – appearing in 15 overall – but many of his figures are still spectacular.
His career rushing average of 4.62 is second only to Sanders among the top 10 rushers in NFL history.
