Ranking All 12 Seasons of Marshall Faulk's NFL Career
5. 1994
AV: 16
If you thought his sophomore campaign was impressive, Faulk's rookie run was one better. He stepped in to a starter's role and immediately produced to the tune of 1,282 rushing yards and 11 trips to the end zone. He averaged 80.1 yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry.
The youngster did fumble the ball on five different occasions, but he more than made up with it with his receiving hands. On the year, Faulk averaged 3.3 catches and 32.6 yards per game, a 10-yard clip per catch. That brought his total yardage to 1,804, a mark that's stands as eighth-best among all rookie rushers since the merger.
