NFL’s Best Players To Wear Each Number: Part 2 #’s 20-29

#28: Marshall Faulk, Running Back

 Toughest decision of the series so far. Went with Marshall Faulk because he was a better receiver than the below mentioned honorable mention. The number two overall pick in the 1994 NFL draft was a fantastic duel-threat back that had an amazing spin move an uncanny ability to make defenders miss.

Faulk scored 136 combined rushing and receiving touchdowns between the Colts and Rams over the course of a 12 year career. His first three seasons with the Rams he played absolutely out of his mind; rushing for 4,122 yards, 2,643 yards receiving and 59 touchdowns. He was a major part of the success of ‘The Greatest Show on Turf’ and enjoyed a Super Bowl XXXIV victory with St. Louis. Marshall is one of only three players to reach 10,000 yards rushing and 5,000 yards receiving, finishing his career with 12,279 and 6,879 respectively.

 Faulk was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2011, his first year of eligibility. Marshall stayed busy following his retirement with his charity, and  is currently an analyst for the NFL Network and Thursday Night Football.

Honorable Mention: Curtis Martin
