How close is Derrick Henry to the NFL's top 10 all-time rushing list?

Sunday's win over the New York Jets saw Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry pass up three Hall of Famers on the NFL's all-time leading rushing list.

He began the day in 16th place on this prestigious list and, by surpassing Marcus Allen, Edgerrin James, and Marshall Faulk, he's now 12th. Up next is Jim Brown, a man who held the title of the NFL's all-time leading rusher up until October of 1984, when Walter Payton surpassed him.

King Henry needs just 19 yards to surpass Brown for 11th place, and that should happen on Thanksgiving against the Bengals. Cracking the top ten will take a bit longer, however, as Tony Dorsett stands in that position with 12,739 rushing yards.

Henry currently has 12,294, so it will take a few more games to make up the 445-yard difference.  Above Dorsett, you're in the 13,000+ club, so it'll be well into 2026 before we can start talking about Henry getting in the top nine.
