Dallas Cowboys strength coach Markus Paul died on Wednesday, a day after being taken to the hospital after experiencing a medical emergency at the team’s facility. He was 54. The team said the cause of death is pending.
Paul was in his third season with the Cowboys after previous being a strength and conditioning coach with the New Orleans Saints, New England Patriots, New York Jets and 12 seasons with the New York Giants.
