The St. Louis Rams were known as the “Greatest Show on Turf” from 1999 to the early 2000s. They were the most prolific offense the NFL has ever seen, absolutely dominating almost every team they came across.
They wouldn’t have gotten that title, however, if it weren’t for their Hall of Fame back, Marshall Faulk. The Rams traded for him in 1999 in what’s unanimously viewed as one of the best trades in NFL history. All it took was a second- and fifth-round pick to pry Faulk from Bill Polian’s Colts, an absolute steal of a trade that would have resounding effects on the NFL.
