Steven Jackson

St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson rushed for 1,145 yards last season, his seventh consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season. Jackson, who is the franchise's all-time leading rusher with 9,093 yards, is one of only seven players in NFL history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in seven consecutive seasons.

"It's a huge achievement," says Jackson. "It's a special group of guys to be a part of. Once again, it's really special. It's something you dream about. It's something where you're amazed at the accomplishment. Everyone -- the offensive line, receivers, tight ends -- really dug in to help me achieve this and I'm very grateful for that."

With another 1,000-yard rushing season this year, Jackson will tie Pro Football Hall of Famer THURMAN THOMAS and LA DAINIAN TOMLINSON for the fourth-longest such streak in NFL history.
