The Dallas Cowboys will be playing on Thanksgiving day with heavy hearts after the sidden death of strength and conditioning coach Markus Paul.
Paul was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday with a major medical emergency, only to lose his life the day after.
On Thursday morning, Dak Prescott went on Instagram to write a heartfelt message for his former coach.
“Thank you for Everything Coach! I’ll never understand this one, But you taught me so much and provided so many laughs I’m forever thankful for and will never forget,” Prescott said. “Like Your great friend Coach Tom Shaw told me, when you go to the garden to pick flowers, You always go and pick the best and the brightest. Same as our Lord. Until Next Time Peanut! Love you Coach.”
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones also released a statement on Paul, saying “He was a pleasant and calming influence in our strength room and throughout The Star. His passion for his work and his enthusiasm for life earned him great respect and admiration from all of our players and the entire organization.”
