Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland passes away at 24
Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland has died at the age of 24, the team announced Thursday. No cause of death has been disclosed.
“Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers are with his girlfriend, Catalina, and his family,” the Cowboys said in a statement. Kneeland’s agent, Jonathan Perzley, confirmed he passed away on Wednesday night. “I watched him fight his way from a hopeful kid at Western Michigan to a respected professional for the Dallas Cowboys. Marshawn poured his heart into every snap, every practice, and every moment on the field,” Perzley said.
Kneeland, a second-round draft pick last year, played in 18 games and scored his only career touchdown in Monday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals after recovering a blocked punt. The NFL said it is in contact with the Cowboys and is offering counseling resources to teammates and coaches.
