Marshawn Kneeland
Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland is dead at age 24, the team and his agent announced Thursday morning.
“It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning," the Cowboys said in a statement shared with PEOPLE on Thursday, Nov. 6. "Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family."
His agent, Jonathan Perzley, said he was "shattered to confirm that my client and dearest friend Marshawn Kneeland passed away last night," in a statement shared by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The second-year player died on Wednesday night, Perzley said, just 48 hours after he had a big showing during the Cowboy's Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals. Kneeland recovered a blocked punt in the second quarter and went on to score a touchdown, putting the Cowboys on the scoreboard.
