I lived in LA when he was Playing at SDSU and I could only see newspaper articles and his stats, I couldn't really see him until he started with the Colts. I knew he was special
He's the reason the nfl won't draft running backs that can't catch. He started it. I mean, teams were running screen plays to back but that's it. They either ran the ball or stayed in and blocked, but never ran routes. And still to this day there isn't a running back that could run the full route tree the way did
Wow, it gave me the chills when he just stood up and walked out in the middle of the interview. What a respectable man for standing up for his team, I mean literally!
People know the name. They know Marshall Faulk was a great player. They know he's a Hall of Famer. They just, for the most part, don't understand HOW GREAT of a football player this man was. Unless you came up watching the game during his era - you just don't know. There were some GREAT backs in his era. But if I had to build a team in that era, starting with the RB position - gimme Marshall Faulk over everybody playing RB at the time.
Did you even watch the game. He averaged 5 yards per carry. He simply wasn't the go to for some reason..... His OC threw them out game. New England made it ab ugly game and if the Rams would have embraced that and ran the ball more would have been a different outcome. Simply put they threw the ball too much due to what had been working in the past. Pats kept eveeyrhing in front of them nothing deep, and the rams refused ro Adjust period! They lost that game because they were OUT COACHED. THEY DID NOT STOP FAULK!!!
Imagine how many potential HOF that were passed up because they didnt run a 4.2 40 or didnt set national records in highschool and college. Like Atl with Farve, had the chance when their starting QB was fading and picked a new face and completely sidelined a superbowl champ.
I'm from New Orleans...this guy is the only player I've ever followed from hs to the pros....he dominated every single level Anybody remember espn had a Faulk watch back in the day when he was in college? Where when he played they always would click over to his highlights and kept track of his yards. He was that electrifying.
jim mora is trash. two HoFs on offense and they didn't do jack. the colts are a poorly managed organization and garbage organization. John elway even had the balls to tell them to fuck off.
Yea I mean how can u have Marshall Faulk and edgerrin james on your team at different times along with peyton manning and marvin Harrison on the same team and not win 1 ring is beyond me
I’m just gonna say it. He needs to coach somewhere. He’d be excellent cause his football mind was incredible! Given his talent on the field he’d be a great addition to any coaching staff on any level.
I was working at GMC in Valencia CA. in Sales in 2006 and I noticed that Marshall Faulk had his SUV in Service and I knew it would be my only ever chance to get his Autograph. I could tell he was not happy. Who is when you have your ride in service. I was not going to let that stop me. I ran out tomy truck and got my 1999 Rams Super Bowl football and ran it back in and Marshall was happy to sign it. I will never forget that. His truck was ready and he left.
To my mind and eye, as a runner, he was a 50/50 combination of Tony Dorsett and Barry Saunders. And a hint of Fred Astaire. He exhibited perfect balance. Looks like he ran on the balls of his feet, not the toes. One of my absolute favorite RBs ever. Maybe the most complete back since Walter (run,block, throw, catch in equanimity and with clinical execution). So great at it all, that I just never think about him until I see it again. Thanks A Football Life for reminding me.
Mora said “some other coach might’ve treated him differently.” Good call Coach Mora, you had P. Manning & Faulk & you messed that up. Faulk got a ring first year out of Indy & Manning got his only after Mora was fired.
clutchcity25 Manning, Faulk, Harrison, Wayne. Just the thought of that would have been crazy. No disrespect to Edgerrin James but Faulk would have definitely put them over the top and probably no Patriots dynasty
Yeah, but if they keep him, do they have the Cap room for Harrison, Manning, Wayne, Clark, Freeney, Harper, Doss, June, Bethea, Saturday, Glenn, and Mathis? Add a $9 million Marshall Faulk to those guy's salaries and I think someone has got to get cut.
you're forgetting the colts drafted edgerrin james (colts got exceptionally lucky he was a great back too), faulk was on the way out, they'd made their decision and jim mora was a complete dick about the whole thing, marshall was lucky to get out of there.
Had the pleasure of watching him play at SDSU. Incredible back. Fast legs and great hands. One of the best receiving running backs ever. Also was robbed of the Heisman trophy at least once.
I remember that game against BYU and Detmer who they gave the Heisman to that year instead of "Marsh" He had over 200 all purpose yardage in that game, and the Aztec coaches let him quit early, but BYU caught up because of their passing offense, so they put Marsh back in and he almost doubled what he already done! Un - Bloody - Stoppable!!!
This is my guy right here he is and still is an amazing running back all those years in st.louis and Indy wining a super bowl ring for us was absolutely incredible 😁💯👍
The greatest RBs, around 5'10ish, huge thighs and glutes, can stop and turn on a dime, but can also lower the boom and IMPACT tacklers.... Sanders, Faulk, Dorsett, Thomas, Campbell, Payton, Craig, all jaw-dropping to watch! MASSIVE PLAYERS who dominated their roles! Sweet memories! Thank you for all your rumbling runs! Hot feet and six point treats! You guys will never die in my heart!
I remember the first time I saw Marshall Faulk. He was at San Diego State. I didn't know who he was. Hadn't even heard his name before. I laughed from excitement every time they fed him the ball. I think he finished the game averaging 10-11 yards a carry. I watched every game i could after that. I knew he was going to be huge. To me, no one can ever touch Barry Sanders, but I knew after that first game he'd be an amazing player in the NFL.
Marshall Faulk is my favorite player!!! I started liking him in college. I new from watching him in college that he was going to be one of the greatest running backs!!! Even how successful his career was I feel he is still underrated.
Marshall Faulk is leader, with unbelievable morals, big heart, and being a real man. Respect for this Gentleman. Great story for a pheonominal player. Wonderful memories in team efforts.
funny how he was a RB coach but didn't know how to use AP right though. Cardinals sure do though lol. but hell its pretty cool watching these videos seeing these great nfl coaches having big impacts on these hall of fame players before they were a house hold name coach.

@@FairHavenCT reviewed further and yes Faulk's resume is better than AP. AP has 1 more AP but Faulk was the feature back in one of the best offenses ever, I would think that is pretty close to balancing out. Each have an MVP but Faulk gets the edge based on 4 straight seasons with 2000+ yards from scrimmage. That is wild
I'd say Mora did that late deal on purpose.. He started that meeting really so that he would be late so that he can have a reason to bench him long enough to not be in top 5... I could be wrong but that's just what it seems to me.
Wow, it gave me the chills when he just stood up and walked out in the middle of the interview. What a respectable man for standing up for his team, I mean literally!
Mora was an a-hole. But I'm pretty sure Bill Polian was going to trade Faulk as they could draft Edgerrin James(Faulk prototype) with their high draft pick. Instead of paying $7mill to Faulk, they could pay $2mill to James instead and free up salary. James lit it up when he entered the league(Faulk like numbers) and Faulk got a SB. It all worked out I guess.
I remember a running back from my hometown in California was picked higher than Marshall going into San Diego State. But he had a hard time in the studies so he ended up coming back...and now Marshall is one of the greatest of all times
The great thing about elusive backs is they last longer. And marshal Faulk the best among them. He is seeing everything in slow motion, and these were the times when you could actually hit the player.
I would submit Keith Byars as the best receiving back ever. A Fullback that was lined up as Halfback, Tight End and very often as Wide Receiver. Plus, and it's a big PLUS; could block lawrence taylor, Dexter Manley, Jeffcoat and Haley with relative ease. He actually used to f up taylor regularly.
A #28 authentic player jersey has hung on my living room wall for 20 years. It commemorates an era and an athlete and hometown pride, sure, but the man Marshall Faulk is off the field is the real inspiration and total life goals.

Even my stepbrother went to see Marshall play with the Colts and yelled “HEY MARSHALL! COLLEGE PARK!!!! Marshall gave him a laugh and that wagged his finger at him…. No not that one🤣 Hands down the best Aztec ever.
I WAS BORN IN LATE 1980..I'VE BEEN WATCHING FOOTBALL SINCE THE LATE 80'S...I'M A CHICAGO BEARS AND NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL FAN...MARSHALL FAULK IS THE GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN,COLLEGE OR PRO...PERIOD
A Man with Class, Grace, Wisdom. And a ability to To Run like......" Water?...." Can not think of any other Word to describe how he Ran! A American Treasure.
One of the greatest to ever play. I’m glad I witnessed greatness. As a 1990s baby I can our generation has witnessed some of the best moments in history
Eric Dickerson was 6'3" 225-230 he ran through more players then he ran around them, I give you effortless but not smooth with Dickerson. Faulk does not remind me of Eric Dickerson, that is like saying Floyd Mayweather reminds me of Mike Tyson...
1st game... 143 yds. and 3TDs' 1300 yd. season and rookie of the year... you see guys who rigged Gino Toretta win over him for heisman... he ran circles' around next level after yall took from him... Hall of Fame and all that... greatest 100 players ever list and all that... nickname..SUPERMAN... Pro Bowls numerous... YOU CAN'T STOP THE REIGN IF ITS GOD'S INTENT
"A FOOTBALL LIFE" is such an awesome program, and "A Football Life - Marshall Faulk" is bar far one of my favorites. For a kid that grew up in such poor and difficult situation and then become not only such a world class football player and champion but become such an incredibly classy individual and great man... It would truly be an honor to be his friend... Truly humbling and inspiring! Kudos to his mom as he was obviously very well parented by her.
Awesome story. Awesome player and it sounds like an even better person. I grew up a Niners fan (until Owens then Mariucci left) and I remember Dickerson being a problem. I remember Bettis being a problem. I remember the '89 Rams when Flipper Anderson caught the TD pass against the Giants in OT (and ran straight to the locker room) thinking they'd be a problem. That Rams team with Warner, Faulk, Bruce, Holt though? There was just nothing anyone could do with that. I remember seeing highlights of Warner throwing 20 TDs to 12th string TEs on Fox score updates. Shout outs the the New England film & production team for being the unsung heroes of Super Bowl 36. Yes that was a Brady fumble against the Raiders though. Yes that was a catch by Bert Emanuel though.
Wow, it gave me the chills when he just stood up and walked out in the middle of the interview. What a respectable man for standing up for his team, I mean literally!
With Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner and coach Vermeil the Rams had theree of the all time great men in the history.of the NFL. Talented,dedication and fantastic individuals .
43:49-44:15.....The exact reason I loved and played basketball & baseball only as a youth, but football has been my favorite sport for the last 20yrs. Always will be the ultimate team game....👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👌🏿
i've seen this before, but never really "heard" what he said during an interview at around 38:50 and not throwing his O-Line under the bus, then walking out on Costas who kept baiting him. Now that's a Team Mate and that's Character. but then again, i've always thought Costas was Jackass.
I always say the Jacksonville Jaguars should relocate to St. Louis. In 1995, St. Louis not Jacksonville should have been awarded the expansion team. That and they can still remain in the AFC South with nearby Indy and Nashville. I hope it happens soon.
Marshall Faulk didn't have an NFL body for a running back meaning he wasn't a physical specimen but man he was a naturally God gifted player the speed, vision, reflexes and his intelligence were extraordinary.
In the words of Boomer Berman..."Marshall, Marshall, Marshall" Marshall was mu guy I grew up in the 70s and he was a throwback. He ran he caught passes he blocked he was not scared of anyone, he was a football player...salute
Bigg Howw can't you see his picture or what? also Smith is a top 3 running back and the only guys I'll put him ahead is Barry and Walter also are you a cowboys hater that's why you assume he's a cowboys fan cuz you don't like smith?????
Jesus Cavazos I love Zeke. Emmitt is one of the most overrated. Barry, Bo, Walter, Jim, Gayle, Marshall, LT, Marshawn, Adrian. Would have better numbers with that Dallas team.
Coaches are so important in football. More than any other sport. Marshall was a top 5 talent at RB. He would have been even more special with offensive coach and peyton manning his whole career.
This man is one of the best to ever play this game physically and mentally he is like no other player I’ve ever seen until now with bell ,Gurley and now Barkley
Daniel Butcher they were a 9 win team going against the team of the 90s. Sure it wasn’t as good as 92 or 93 but they were still the best team in the league that year, them beating packers cemented it
This video was deep. Hats off too you champ. I remember your days. You were my team, you Kurt,Isaac,Tory,kevin,Hakeem,Robert and the list goes on. I miss the end of an era where football is not like it use to be. I mean that to all 31 teams at that time.👍

Honestly, when I met him it was a dream come true. Humble guy, who just loves the game.
This is a great football life story... Also Eric Dickerson very interesting Insight .
He called it!
I WAS BORN IN LATE 1980..I'VE BEEN WATCHING FOOTBALL SINCE THE LATE 80'S...I'M A CHICAGO BEARS AND NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL FAN...MARSHALL FAULK IS THE GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN,COLLEGE OR PRO...PERIOD
Wow. That's saying a lot considering the teams you mentioned
Those are big words coming from the company he had in the mid to late 90s when it comes to RBs .
Two mighty athletes and Hall of Famer’s from San Diego State, Marshall Faulk and Tony Gwynn.
One of the greatest steals of all time. Sorry, Colts, you blew it!
I friggin love this series.
Grew up watching all these great players and it's nice to be reminded of their legacy, and learn more about their path
I used to watch A Football Life everyday on NFL network, good times
A Man with Class, Grace, Wisdom.
And a ability to To Run like......" Water?...." Can not think of any other Word to describe how he Ran!
A American Treasure.
One of the greatest to ever play. I’m glad I witnessed greatness. As a 1990s baby I can our generation has witnessed some of the best moments in history
His running style reminds me of Eric Dickerson. Smooth and effortless awesome running back.
shust84 yup made us look easy
You know football I've always said this much props.
you're right!!!
And both went on the same teams, plus both got done dirty.
Eric Dickerson was 6'3" 225-230 he ran through more players then he ran around them, I give you effortless but not smooth with Dickerson. Faulk does not remind me of Eric Dickerson, that is like saying Floyd Mayweather reminds me of Mike Tyson...
No disrespect to Barry, Walter or Emmit, whom I all love. Marshall was simply on another level.
This man was my hero when I was growing up.
1st game...
143 yds. and 3TDs'
1300 yd. season and rookie of the year...
you see guys who rigged Gino Toretta win over him for heisman...
he ran circles' around next level after yall took from him...
Hall of Fame and all that...
greatest 100 players ever list and all that...
nickname..SUPERMAN...
Pro Bowls numerous...
YOU CAN'T STOP THE REIGN IF ITS GOD'S INTENT
Should have multiple MVPs
The most exciting offense ever. Warner, Faulk, Bruce and Holt...STUDS!
"A FOOTBALL LIFE" is such an awesome program, and "A Football Life - Marshall Faulk" is bar far one of my favorites. For a kid that grew up in such poor and difficult situation and then become not only such a world class football player and champion but become such an incredibly classy individual and great man... It would truly be an honor to be his friend... Truly humbling and inspiring! Kudos to his mom as he was obviously very well parented by her.
Awesome story. Awesome player and it sounds like an even better person. I grew up a Niners fan (until Owens then Mariucci left) and I remember Dickerson being a problem. I remember Bettis being a problem. I remember the '89 Rams when Flipper Anderson caught the TD pass against the Giants in OT (and ran straight to the locker room) thinking they'd be a problem. That Rams team with Warner, Faulk, Bruce, Holt though? There was just nothing anyone could do with that. I remember seeing highlights of Warner throwing 20 TDs to 12th string TEs on Fox score updates. Shout outs the the New England film & production team for being the unsung heroes of Super Bowl 36.
Yes that was a Brady fumble against the Raiders though.
Yes that was a catch by Bert Emanuel though.
Glad that Marshall took football instead of basketball
Wow, it gave me the chills when he just stood up and walked out in the middle of the interview. What a respectable man for standing up for his team, I mean literally!
With Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner and coach Vermeil the Rams had theree of the all time great men in the history.of the NFL.
Talented,dedication and fantastic individuals .
Marshall Faulk is the best football player I've ever seen in a live game, and I've see a lot of the college greats
Marshall Faulk was a flat out beast
Mad respect for this man
43:49-44:15.....The exact reason I loved and played basketball & baseball only as a youth, but football has been my favorite sport for the last 20yrs. Always will be the ultimate team game....👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👌🏿
definitely the best Football Life Marshall Faulk
greatest show on turf
A A .....Barry Sanders Was
Except against the Patriots. Tomlinson was also shut down many times.
What a great story by # 28 Marshall Faulk. #HOF
This is the guy that made me a football fan...and Rams fan...all the way from Africa...
i've seen this before, but never really "heard" what he said during an interview at around 38:50 and not throwing his O-Line under the bus, then walking out on Costas who kept baiting him. Now that's a Team Mate and that's Character. but then again, i've always thought Costas was Jackass.
He has a great mom and a outstanding Dad. That made a unbelievable son!!
I wonder if St. Louis will ever get a football team again they definitely deserve one
I always say the Jacksonville Jaguars should relocate to St. Louis. In 1995, St. Louis not Jacksonville should have been awarded the expansion team. That and they can still remain in the AFC South with nearby Indy and Nashville. I hope it happens soon.
this man was so quick I can't imagine trying to open field tackle him. These defenders have no chance
Marshall Faulk didn't have an NFL body for a running back meaning he wasn't a physical specimen but man he was a naturally God gifted player the speed, vision, reflexes and his intelligence were extraordinary.
In the words of Boomer Berman..."Marshall, Marshall, Marshall" Marshall was mu guy I grew up in the 70s and he was a throwback. He ran he caught passes he blocked he was not scared of anyone, he was a football player...salute
Top 5 RB of all time
I would say he is 4th. Emmit Smith Barry Sanders Walter Peyton and Marshall Faulk. He was AMAZING
Wynston Williams doesn't get NEARLY enough love!
Seems like people have forgotten.
SmithN' Wesson you have to be a cowboys fan. Smith is the greatest rb that wasn't as good as his numbers. He is not in the top 15
Bigg Howw can't you see his picture or what? also Smith is a top 3 running back and the only guys I'll put him ahead is Barry and Walter also are you a cowboys hater that's why you assume he's a cowboys fan cuz you don't like smith?????
Jesus Cavazos I love Zeke. Emmitt is one of the most overrated. Barry, Bo, Walter, Jim, Gayle, Marshall, LT, Marshawn, Adrian. Would have better numbers with that Dallas team.
The Greatest Show on Turf ....My Hometown St.Louis, Missouri
Coaches are so important in football. More than any other sport. Marshall was a top 5 talent at RB. He would have been even more special with offensive coach and peyton manning his whole career.
This man is one of the best to ever play this game physically and mentally he is like no other player I’ve ever seen until now with bell ,Gurley and now Barkley
When he was at Indy, he was super explosive...
I know I wish they would of beaten the Steelers in the AFC championship game they would if beaten the cowboys for sure that year
Gabriel Guzman not a chance
Well they did call Marshall "Super" Man!
@@user-co1gi7yd2r yes a chance. They played a bad game against the Steelers but Faulk would have caused match up nightmares against the cowgirls
Daniel Butcher they were a 9 win team going against the team of the 90s. Sure it wasn’t as good as 92 or 93 but they were still the best team in the league that year, them beating packers cemented it
Thank you so much for this!!
No problem man! I'll try to post the others in the near future.
Zach Crutcher Sports Highlights I see Eddie Robinson was in the hunt for Grambling!!!!!
Thx for this! I missed this episode on The NFL Network.
Great program. Wow, Mr. Faulk. Thank you
One of the most elusive running backs of all time
Imagine passing up a player then seeing them score 7 touchdowns in their first appearance
This video was deep. Hats off too you champ. I remember your days. You were my team, you Kurt,Isaac,Tory,kevin,Hakeem,Robert and the list goes on. I miss the end of an era where football is not like it use to be. I mean that to all 31 teams at that time.👍
Probably my favorite one so far, the walk out the interview is a classic! Loyalty is rare
Hell of a 🏃 running back, but a greater man!!! In my top5
I’m not crying. Your crying 😭
A talented and gifted player. And one hell of a man. Thanks very much for posting.
This is one of the best Football Documentaries I've ever watched. Salute.
