Marshall Faulk was a game-changing running back whose versatility redefined the position in the modern NFL. Drafted 2nd overall by the Indianapolis Colts in 1994, Faulk exploded onto the scene with rare balance, vision, and receiving skills. His career hit legendary status after being traded to the St. Louis Rams, where he became the engine of the iconic "Greatest Show on Turf."
Faulk won the NFL MVP in 2000, led the league in total touchdowns for three straight seasons, and was the first player to record 12,000 rushing yards and 6,000 receiving yards. He won Super Bowl XXXIV, made seven Pro Bowls, and earned three straight First-Team All-Pro selections.
