Dallas Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland Tragically Di3s at 24: NFL Community Mourns Second-Round Draft Pick’s Sudden Passing.

Marshawn Kneeland has tragically passed away.

On Thursday morning, it was reported that the Dallas Cowboys defensive end had di3d at the age of 24.

Kneeland was the Cowboys’ second-round pick out of Western Michigan in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Dallas Cowboys soon released a statement: “It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning. Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend, Catalina, and his family.”

For the 2025 season, Marshawn Kneeland recorded six combined tackles and one sack. In 2024, his rookie season, he tallied nine tackles. The 2024 second-round pick appeared in only 11 regular-season games as a rookie due to a knee injury that required arthroscopic surgery.

His d3ath comes months after former tight end Pettis Norman passed away in his sleep.

In what would be his final game, Kneeland recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for his first career touchdown during the Cowboys’ 27-17 loss on Monday night to the Arizona Cardinals.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as they navigate this difficult time.
