Why can't Marshall just be the best ever? Too many people are quick to say unequivocally that Barry Sanders is the best ever when he's not. Marshall was a much better & complete back than Barry Sanders. The Lions would take Sanders out on 3rd down & red zone situations. How can you be the greatest back ever when these are the facts. Sanders also had the most minus yards in history bc of his running style. He would put his team in bad situations bc he was too East West style of running. Great highlights but terrible for his team. Marshall was more explosive & ended his runs really strong. So say it and say it loud, MARSHALL FAULK THE GREATEST RB OF ALL TIME!

This dude was such an outstanding athlete. His breakaway speed and his sneaky in your face and through you power. Dude was soooo freaking awesome. Im kind of in awe just remembering how it felt to watch him back then. Thanks Marshall your one of my favs of all time.

Marshall Faulk was "That Thang"

Faulk's sophomore year it was him, Garrison Hearst, and Marvin Jones who all three were incredibly dominant that year and it went to Gino Toretta who had a decent year but nothing special. Three other guys were far more deserving that year.

He had 5,562 yards in 3 years. He would've broke 7,000 yards ears if he played Sr. Year. The ncaa record is like 6,600 or something an only a handful of players ever even broke 6,000

Marshall Faulk is definitely the #2 GOAT. Barry Sanders #1, Marshall Faulk #2. I've said that for a very long time. Barry was the once in a lifetime on the ground, no doubt about that. But Marshall Faulk was the most balanced weaponized running back of all time. Nobody ever could do as much as he could do, with devastating precision. Marshall Faulk could do it all. He was the Swiss Army Knife of the football game. The greatest most loaded running back I have ever seen.

Bush was this huge media story, but Faulk--doing even more spectacular things on the field--was totally off the media's radar. The NFL scouts knew about Faulk, however, and he, like Bush, he was picked #2 in the draft. The difference: Faulk 19,190 total career yards, Bush 9,088 career yards. Faulk a Hall-of-Famer, Bush a college superstar who had a couple of nice years in the NFL, and that's it. The NCAA hype-machine fooled everybody....
