The NFL.com is reporting RB Marshall Faulk has officially decided to retire. Faulk, who worked as an NFL Network analyst while out of football last year, was entertaining the thought of coming back in 2007.

Faulk’s class on and off the field is what I’ll always remember about him first and foremost. Talk about the consummate professional, Faulk was always a class act on and was never selfish. For all the off the field problems the NFL has endured of late, losing a guy like him hurts, but the time was right for Marshall to call it a great career. He’s certainly a Hall of Famer.
