Barber played for the Cowboys from 2005-2010. He was found dead on Wednesday. The cause of death for the 38-year-old was unknown.

Barber had been in legal trouble recently, and Bryant was well aware of Barber’s struggles after his playing career ended.

In a post on Twitter last July, Bryant quote-tweeted a video of some of Barber’s career highlights.

Bryant said he couldn’t even enjoy watching the highlights due to his concerns for Barber’s condition.

“As I watch this video and me knowing exactly how Marion barber life is going right now today is why I built @personalcorner,” Bryant wrote.
