Probably the
greatest QB in Pitt history & quite possibly in NFL history. Dan Marino
played college football for the very program that he grew up around. It's not
often you see a guy playing for his hometown in college.
He had a great
college career but his Heisman & national championship hype going into his
senior season failed James Jones Jersey. Marino was the favorite for the Heisman heading into his
senior campaign but it didn't work out for him. Pitt lost to SMU in the 1983
Cotton Bowl with the "Pony Express" by his side. This was in
reference to players Eric Dickerson & Craig James.
Due to his subpar
senior season, Marino wasn't drafted as high as expected. There were 5 other
QB's drafted before him in the 1983 NFL Draft. Well, The teams that passed on
him wished they hadn't. Miami was the team that picked him & the rest is
literally "history". He spent his
entire NFL career in Miami. Playing 17 seasons in the NFL & setting
numerous passing records. He was voted NFL MVP in 1984. He was a 9-time Pro
Bowl selection. He never won a Super Bowl title though with the Dolphins. His
jersey number has been officially retired by Miami. He was voted into the
College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2005, he was voted into the Pro
Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Writer

flights either leaving or going to the East Coast were delayed for a number of

vacation, leaving them stuck in at the airport for a few days until it was safe
