Dan Marino, Watercolor, 2010
One of the greats! Imagine how the Pittsburgh Steelers would have fared had they chosen Marino in the 1983 draft. Instead, Marino fell all the way to the 27th pick and was taken by the AFC Champion Miami Dolphins. He went on to set virtually every major passing record for both single season and career in the NFL. His 1984 season may never be surpassed: 362 completions in 564 attempts for 5084 yards and 48 touchdowns. The previous record for touchdown passes in a single season was 36 and, for comparison, the current record is only marginally better, Tom Brady’s 50 TD’s in 2007.

Sadly, like Fran Tarkenton and Dan Fouts before him, Marino never won a Superbowl. In fact, his only appearance in the big game was after that magical 1984 season, but the San Francisco Forty-Niners had seen enough of the Dolphins to figure out who it was they had to stop to be successful. With subpar defenses and virtually no running game, Marino failed to make it back to the championship game. Fans, however, will never forget spending Sunday afternoons watching Marino sling the ball with that trademark quick release down the field to his receivers. This was not the “dink and dunk” offense that is so popular in today’s game, but rather a deep passing attack that relied on an accurate strong-armed thrower.

Marino was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005, his first year of eligibility.
