There’s another Hall of Famer on Deion Sanders’ coaching staff at the University of Colorado. The school announced on Thursday night that Rams legend Marshall Faulk has been hired as the new running backs coach for the Buffaloes.
This will be Faulk’s first coaching job at the college or pro level, so it’s a new venture for the 52-year-old.
Colorado’s running backs will get a chance to learn from one of the all-time greats, an incredible opportunity for those in the Buffaloes’ backfield. Faulk played 12 seasons in the NFL, rushing for 12,279 yards and 100 touchdowns. He also caught 767 passes for 6,875 yards, going down as one of the best dual-threat backs in NFL history.
One of the greatest to ever play the game.

He ranks 12th all-time in career rushing yards and fifth in yards from scrimmage (19,154), also sitting in seventh place with 136 total touchdowns. Faulk made the Pro Bowl seven times, was a first-team All-Pro three times, won one Super Bowl and was voted Offensive Player of the Year three times.
He did most of his damage with the Rams, gaining 6,959 yards and scoring 58 touchdowns in St. Louis after spending the first five seasons of his career with the Colts.
