After entering the pro ranks, he worked with Chargers' assistant coach Chuck Noll to continually blow past opposing offensive lineman on his way to smashing American Football League quarterbacks.

The "Foursome" was made up of Faison and Chargers Hall of Fame linemate Ernie Ladd, with alternate members of the group including Bob Petrich, Ron Nery, George Gross, Bill Hudson and Henry Schmidt.

In response, Faison looked to the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts, but eventually signed a three-year $90,000 contract with the Chargers on July 29.

On June 27, 1967, Faison was involved in a seven-player trade which sent him to the Denver Broncos, although 10 days later, the team returned him to the Dolphins, who then placed him on waivers on July 24.

In his post-playing career, Faison briefly dabbled in acting, including Kolchak: The Night Stalker and a pair of appearances in The Beverly Hillbillies.

Earl Faison is a member of The Pigskin Club Of Washington, D.C. National Intercollegiate All-American Football Players Honor Roll.
