NFL RBs to rush for 10 TDs for 5 straight years: Titans' Derrick Henry achieves rare feat

Derrick Henry has been one of the best running backs in the entire NFL during the 2022 season. This has become a trend for the Tennessee Titans superstar, who has dominated the league for years. No player has accumulated more rushing yards and touchdowns than Henry over the last four seasons.

Henry scored a rushing touchdown in Week 11 of the 2022 NFL season against the Green Bay Packers. It ended up being historic, as it was his tenth rushing touchdown of the year. He has joined an elite list of only five players in NFL history to rush for ten or more touchdowns in five consecutive seasons.

Derrick Henry has won two rushing titles in the last three seasons. He was on his way to a third consecutive one in 2021, but an injury cut his year short. He could make it three titles in four years during the 2022 NFL season, as he has already eclipsed 1,000 yards. Henry is one of only eight players to record 2,000 rushing yards in a single season.

Henry has scored 65 rushing touchdowns since the start of the 2018 season, including his most recent in Week 11 of the 2022 NFL season. He leads all players in this category and has shown no signs of slowing down this year.

#2 - Shaun Alexander

Shaun Alexander's career peak lasted five years, but he made them count. He was one of the best players in the league during that time. He was named the NFL MVP for the 2005 season and was selected to two All-Pro teams.

Alexander has recorded at least 14 rushing touchdowns in each of his five peak seasons, including 27 in his MVP campaign. His impressive run also included a rushing title while leading the league in touchdowns twice.
