hmmmmmm

There's nothing he needs to back off of.

Seriously, who gives a shite about what he thinks of Hernandez. He's a teammate, not an accomplice.

Come on, this is sad

if this was anyone other then a popular fellow Lafayette area man you'd be all over him

For what? For saying that he is praying for a friend and hopes he didn't do it? I literally wouldn't give a shite what a teammate of Hernandez thought about that situation. They are coming from a position of incredible bias.

It doesn't matter, and is 100% irrelevant to his ability to be a good coach or recruiter. Keep on reaching.

ya, cause getting arrested

He was not arrested. Derp

Faulk, a Louisiana native and former LSU star, was on his way to a suite in the Lafayette Cajundome to watch a performance by rapper Lil Wayne, when a routine search by a sheriff's deputy turned up four marijuana cigarettes, Babin said.

Everyone heading to the suites was searched, Babin said.

Faulk was not arrested or required to post bond. "He was cited for simple possession, which is a misdemeanor," Babin said. "It's based on an amount possessed for personal use."

OH NO'SSSSSSSSS!




Peyton Manning has a worse history than Faulk. I guess Tennessee should distance themselves

Yea cause all he said was that he was praying for him and hoping he didn't do it. Lol. frickin homers

Homers? What are you babbling about? Popular Lafayette man?

Kevin Faulk is an LSU and SEC legend. A patriot icon.....give me a break dude.

Resume:

3x Super Bowl Champ
Patriots Hall of Famer
Patriots team captain
3x all-american
Numerous LSU and Patriot records
Louisiana HS coach

Then you have that Bill Belichick guy's opinion on him:

Well, I mean that’s a pretty high bar. You’re talking about Kevin Faulk. We have guys like James White or [Shane] Vereen going back that had similar roles and had production. Kevin’s pretty special. As I said this summer, I think many impressive things about Kevin, amongst them would be that I thought he played his best football in the biggest games, the most critical situations, the most critical plays. The times when we need him the most is when he came through with some of his best plays.

The Carolina Super Bowl, the two-point play, I think it was the only time he scored all year, but what bigger play is there than that? So, I’d say that’s kind of typical of Kevin. I can still see him converting on third-down or punt return situations, getting him in a nine-man, handling a short punt, or blitz-pickup so that we could make the play to somebody else but him stepping up and making the block that we needed on a critical third-down or two-minute play to be successful.

I think Kevin’s one of the great, great examples – and I’ve tried to point this out to players that I’ve coached throughout my entire career – Kevin’s a player that came in; I mean first of all, out of all the great running backs that have come out of LSU, which have been a lot of them, he has pretty much got every record. I mean [Leonard] Fournette might break a couple of them this year but he has pretty much been the best guy down there of all the great ones they’ve had. His role in the NFL was different than that and he accepted his role, he embraced his roles, and he was the best that he could be in those roles and he’s a Hall of Fame player.

Instead of sometimes trying to make a role different, instead of embracing the role that your team wants you to have and needs you to have, some players want a role that they want to have and then sometimes that’s a little bit of a conflict. I think Kevin was a great example of coming in here he started off as a returner and was a great runner, but kind of worked his way into more of a third-down sub back but he always had good run skills and he had a lot of good runs for us. He was great in the passing game, he was great in the return game when we needed him, he was a great leader.

When we had backs like Corey Dillon he was a great – or Antowain [Smith] or guys like that – he was not only a great compliment to them but he was a great mentor to them in terms of preparation and dependability and a lot of little things. Just taking care of a lot of little things so the example and the leadership that he gave to the team was exceptional. It really was, and to a degree a little bit below the radar. Not a big out front team captain and that type of profile, yet the undercurrent that he had was arguably as strong as any. Kind of like Troy Brown; a little bit different than Troy Brown but kind of like Troy Brown. So, [he was] a really, really special player. [He] had ball-security issues, had blitz-pickup issues when I got here. He came in, “Coach what do I need to do?” “Kevin, here’s what you need to do.” He worked very hard at it, became very good at it. It wasn’t an attitude of like “Well, look, here’s what I’m good at. Here’s what I want to do. What do I need to do to help the team,” [and he’d] go out there and do it.

You’re probably really lucky as a coach if you have a couple of guys, we’ve had a lot of guys like that, and he would certainly be up there at the head of that class. And honestly I think it’s great that he has been recognized for that. I don’t even know how many games he started in his career but I would venture to say not all that many, yet you’re talking about a Hall of Famer player that let’s just say wasn’t even a starter but that doesn’t really matter.

When the game was on the line he was always in the game and he was always in the eye of the storm, and that really speaks more to me to the value of the player than whose name is in there on the starting lineup on the first play of the game. You’ve got 59 minutes of football left. I don’t think that’s the most important play yet that’s what a lot of people want to relate it to. Really the most important plays are the game-winning plays at the end of the game. Who’s in there for those? That’s what you really want to know.

Negatives:

Misdeamenor summons
Biased opinion on his ex-teammate

Hey, I don't know if he is a great recruiter or not but how many assistant coaches can go into a recruits house with 3 Super Bowl rings? It might get their attention.
Just maybe?
