Collect Faulk’s Best Cards
Marshall Faulk had an undeniable Hall of Fame career, but at his peak, he ranks up there with some of the greatest football players ever. As a running back, his impact on the field was as dominant as that of prime Ladanian Tomlinson, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, many great wide receivers, and even some quarterbacks. He was the ultimate duel threat and a massive contributor to the Rams’ Greatest Show on Turf.
It’s time to rip open some packs from Topps Composite Football and Topps Football historical sets to try and wrap our minds around Faulk’s incredible career and extremely long list of league records that may never be broken.
