Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry ran 7 yards to score the first points of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
By going over the goal line with 2:18 remaining in the first quarter, the former Alabama All-American became the 10th player in NFL history with 100 rushing touchdowns in regular-season play.
The other players who have rushed for 100 touchdowns in the NFL are:
· Emmitt Smith: 164
· LaDainian Tomlinson: 145
· Marcus Allen: 123
· Adrian Peterson: 120
· Walter Payton: 110
· Jim Brown: 106
· John Riggins: 104
· Shaun Alexander: 100
· Marshall Faulk: 100
Of the nine players who reached 100 NFL rushing touchdowns before Henry, seven are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Peterson will not become eligible for consideration until the Class of 2027. A former Crimson Tide standout, Alexander is in his 12th year of eligibility but has not been selected for induction.
Henry’s 100th NFL rushing touchdown was his league-leading 10th of the 2024 season. Henry has run for at least 10 touchdowns in seven consecutive seasons. He joined Tomlinson and Peterson as the only players who have reached that feat.
