Former Cowboys RB Marion Barber Found Dead At 38

June 02, 2022

Barber was found in his apartment.

"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. Our hearts go out to Marion's family and friends during this difficult time," the Cowboys said in a statement.

Barber was a six year veteran for the Cowboys from 2005-2011. He racked up over 4,000 yards and 59 touchdowns in his career, and made a trip to the Pro Bowl in the 2007-2008 season. His ability to break tackles and bully through defenses earned him the nickname “Marion the Barbarian.” He ended his career with a one year stint with the Chicago Bears.



"Frisco Police along with the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office are investigating an unattended death at the location," the department said in a statement.
