Gordon will no doubt get every opportunity to prove himself, and according to Marshall Faulk that should not be a problem.

“His work ethic is impeccable,” Faulk said about Gordon. “And you will love what you see in him when you watch him play football. His passion and desire to be one of the greats -- if not the greatest -- is going to show immediately when you watch him play.”Faulk was honest in his assessment of Gordon and talked about what he needs to work on too--his blocking:
“Every running back coming in has to work on their blocking,” Faulk said. “You just don’t get asked to do it in college enough, in that you’re skilled enough to where the quarterback is fine -- they’re fine with you blocking the [defensive] end man on the line of scrimmage or stepping up into the ‘A’ gap between the center and guard and ‘bam,' stoning a linebacker.San Diego fans are likely already pretty happy about their first round draft pick, but it certainly doesn't hurt to have a Hall of Fame running back sing his praises too.
