I watched him fight his way from a hopeful kid at Western Michigan with a dream to being a respected professional for the Dallas Cowboys, Perzley wrote in a statement. Marshawn poured his heart into every snap, every practice, and every moment on the field. To lose someone with his talent, spirit, and goodness is a pain I can hardly put into words."

It was definitely tough, Kneeland said of his mother's death. I just managed it. She helped me a lot in my younger years getting into football. I always had the dream. I always told her, I'm going to the NFL' and I made it."
