Parkinson's
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) --- Hall of Fame running back and Southern University
coach Marshall Faulk has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Faulk revealed his diagnosis on the podcast "The Caring Neurologist" on
Wednesday, telling the host, "I want to help as many people as I can."
The 53-year-old Faulk said he was not experiencing "issues" beyond hand
rigidity and a few tremors, thanks to medication. He doesn't believe the
symptoms have gotten worse in the 18 months he's been dealing with the disease.
Faulk is in his first season as Southern's coach after serving as running backs
coach at Colorado. He played 12 NFL seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and St.
Louis Rams, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.
