Before the Giants lifted their last two Lombardi Trophies, they were lifting weights with Markus Paul. He was the respected and beloved assistant strength and conditioning coach for the team from 2007-2017, helping to oversee the physical development of the players but also offering guidance for life and always a kind word and a smile.
Paul, who worked for the Cowboys the past two and a half years, died on Wednesday surrounded by his family after he suffered a medical emergency at the team’s facility on Tuesday morning, the Cowboys announced. He was 54.
The team said the cause of death was pending.
