life story

The Marion Barber III you didn't see was just as special as the star on the field

Former teammates talk about Barber with reverence. Not just because he ran with such power and determination, or that he became a star running back who made NCAA history sharing the ball with Maroney. They loved him because he was one of the guys, always cheerful, always laughing. He had little interest in being treated as someone special.
