DALLAS — If there was anyone who knew Cowboys running back Marion Barber, who was found dead in his Frisco apartment on Wednesday, it was his former coach Bill Parcells.
“I hold him in high regard,” Parcells told The Dallas Morning News on Thursday morning from his home in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
“I hate to bring up football now because that’s not important, but he was almost like a perfect player. In this respect, he could run, block, he could catch, he was tough and he was always there. So that’s what I’ll say about him.”
