Marion Barber, Former Cowboys RB, Passed Away at the age of 38.
Marion Barber III, the former Dallas Cowboys running back who scored plenty of touchdowns without recording a 1,000-yard season, has died, the team said Wednesday. He was 38.
Barber played a final season with Chicago in 2011 after spending his first six years with the Cowboys.
He had issues with mental health after his career.
Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco said Wednesday they made a welfare check at an apartment “believed to be leased” by Barber and were investigating an unattended death there.
Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, news of Barber’s death was initially reported.
The Cowboys released a statement sending condolences to Barber’s friends and family.
The Cowboys, who have their headquarters in Frisco, said they were “heartbroken by the tragic death of Marion Barber III.”

” Marion was an old-school, hard-nosed football player who ran with the will to win every down,” the team said.
“He had a passion for the game and love for his coaches and teammates.”
Barber’s father, Marion Barber Jr., played seven seasons with the New York Jets in the 1980s.
The younger Barber is fourth on Dallas’ career list for rushing touchdowns with 47 after getting passed in 2021 by two-time NFL rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott. He finished with 53 and never had fewer than four in his seven seasons.
The former Minnesota player, a fourth-round draft pick by Dallas in 2005, had 24 touchdowns in 2006-07 despite starting just one game those two seasons. Barber’s career-high was 14 TDs in 2006 when he rushed for just 654 yards.
Barber had a career-high 975 yards rushing and 10 TDs in 2007 when he made his only Pro Bowl.
His role and production declined, and he had career lows in carries, yards, and touchdowns in his final year in Dallas in 2010.
