Deion Sanders, Colorado hire Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk to be running backs coach

Have Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley changed how running backs are valued?
Marshall Faulk is a Pro Football Hall of Famer and he discusses how running backs have evolved in the NFL. He also talks about his partnership with Sodexo Live!
Pro Football Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk has been hired as the new running backs coach at the University of Colorado, becoming the third Hall of Famer to join the coaching staff of the Buffaloes under head coach Deion Sanders in Boulder.
The university announced the hire late Thursday. It’s not clear if Faulk has ever coached before. He previously played running back at San Diego State and then went on to fame as an elite running back in the NFL for the Indianapolis Colts and St. Louis Rams.
At Colorado, Faulk joins a staff assembled by Sanders that includes himself as a Pro Football Hall of Famer, along with graduate assistant coach Warren Sapp, another Pro Football Hall of Famer.
Faulk is one of the NFL’s best running backs of all time and a Super Bowl champion with the Rams 25 years ago. But he also was suspended in 2017 by the NFL Network after a lawsuit was filed against him and others by a former wardrobe stylist. It accused him of sexual harassment and groping the stylist. It was later settled out of court.
Faulk, 51, recently has been working in the financial field outside of football, according to online records. As the new running backs coach at Colorado, Faulk will be charged with improving a running game that ranked last in the nation in rushing yards per game in 2023 and 2024.

Man suspected in deadly Florida shooting arrested in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A man wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in Florida was arrested by members of the U.S. Marshals Service in Colorado Springs on Tuesday.
The U.S. Marshals Service said De Sean Phang, 28, was wanted by the Miramar (FL) Police Department for second-degree murder with a firearm in connection with a deadly shooting in early 2023 that left one man dead. A felony arrest warrant was issued for Phang on Jan. 17.
Investigators learned that Phang had recently left Florida and was possibly in Colorado.
On Monday, members of the U.S. Marshals Service’s Colorado Violent Offender Task Force (COVOTF) learned that Phang had recently left Florida and was possibly in Colorado. According to the agency, Phang was moving between Colorado Springs and the south Denver metro area, including Englewood and Highlands Ranch.
The U.S. Marshals Office said Phang was traveling in a rental car, which was spotted on Tuesday near C-470 and South Quebec Street before heading south to Colorado Springs. The COVOTF reached out to the Colorado Springs Police Department and El Paso County Sheriff’s Office for help.
According to the U.S. Marshals Service, a CSPD officer tried to pull over the vehicle, but it sped off. The vehicle eventually stopped in the parking lot of the Big R, located at 165 Fontaine Boulevard in Colorado Springs. The U.S. Marshals Service said the occupants of the vehicle, including Phang, got out and tried to run away but were “quickly apprehended.”
Phang was booked in the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center on the Florida warrant and is currently awaiting extradition.
