Terrible news was reported on Wednesday afternoon that former Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber III was found deceased in his Frisco home. Barber was 38 years old.

At this time there are not a lot of reported details on what happened, but the Dallas Cowboys themselves did issue a statement on Barber’s passing.

The 2005 Dallas Cowboys draft class was a very successful one for the team and a part of that was the team’s fourth-round selection in Marion Barber III.
