Question

With it being St. Patrick’s Day, a “Green” question is in order. Who are the only five players who’ve run for over 1,000 yards in an NFL season whose last name includes “green”? Two of the five had just one 1,000-yard season. All played after 1990. Two have last names including a little more than just “Green”.

Answer

Ahman Green (extra credit for playing for Green Bay) had six 1,000-yard seasons. BenJarvus Green-Ellis (New England and Cincinnati) and Shonn Greene (Tennessee) had two each. Also: Gaston Green (Denver 1991) and Harold Green (Cincinnati 1992).
