From memory, only five people have rushed for 2,000 yards in a single season and they are:
- OJ Simpson (only man to do it in a 14 game season) (1973)
- Eric Dickerson (1984)
- Barry Sanders (1997)
- Terrell Davis (1998)
- Jamal Lewis (2003)
Chris Johnson has a shot at doing it this year, but he will need to post three really solid final games to do so.
