FOXBOROUGH — Kevin Faulk, who in his 13 seasons with the Patriots epitomized what it meant to be a third-down back, will announce his retirement Tuesday morning.
Faulk, 36, who was drafted in the second round in 1999 after setting numerous rushing and all-purpose yardage records at Louisiana State, played 161 games for the Patriots and scored 31 touchdowns (16 rushing, 15 receiving).

I'd like to know who has more 3rd and 4th down conversions for 1st downs per ball opportunity than Kevin Faulk. Even among receivers. If/when the NFL starts putting 3rd down backs in the Hall of Fame, Kevin Faulk would be right at the top of the list. Run that stat and find out!!
