Nick Chubb is second all-time with 4,318 yards with at least four games remaining - and possibly five. Todd Gurley is third on the all-time list with 3,285 yards. Garrison Hearst is fourth with 3,232 yards. Sony Michel ranks fifth with 3,142 yards. Similar to Chubb, Michel has four - and possibly five - games remaining.
