Former Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber III was found dead in his apartment on Wednesday. Barber was found by Frisco Police according to the Dallas Star-Telegram.
“Marion was an old-school, hard-nosed football player who ran with the will to win every down. He had a passion for the game and love for his coaches and teammates.“
You have probably seen his highlights before, most notably escaping his own endzone while dodging and shaking off numerous New England Patriot defenders.
