Faulk was drafted second overall in the 1994 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. During his seven seasons with the Colts, he rushed for more than 1,000 yards in five of those seasons and was selected to the Pro Bowl three times. He also set the Colts' single-season rushing record with 1,319 yards in 1998.
In 2001, Faulk was traded to the St. Louis Rams, where he played for the next five seasons. During his time with the Rams, he was selected to the Pro Bowl two more times and was named the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year in both 2000 and 2001. He also helped the Rams win Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000.
Faulk was a versatile player who could run, catch, and block. He was a threat to score any time he touched the ball, and his ability to make plays in the open field made him one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the NFL. He finished his career with 12,279 rushing yards, 6,875 receiving yards, 136 total touchdowns, and seven Pro Bowl selections.
Marshall Faulk is widely considered one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. His combination of speed, agility, and power made him a nightmare for opposing defenses, and he was one of the most complete players of his era. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.
