Trivia Tuesday: Leading NFL rookie rushers since 1995

Running backs have a notoriously short shelf life in the National Football League.

For every Frank Gore (who is currently in his 15th season in the league) there are dozens of NFL running backs who start quickly, burn brightly and fizzle out quickly.

Rookie running backs are the basis for this week’s challenge. Can you name the leading rookie rusher in the league for each season going back to 1995?

We’ve given you the year, the number of yards each player amassed and the team he did it for…you just have to name the player.

You’ve got eight minutes — good luck!
