Dan Marino
Dan Marino is a former American football quarterback. He played for the Miami Dolphins in the National Football League (NFL). For several years, he successfully led the college football team of the University of Pittsburgh. During the 1983 NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins picked him in the first round. He played for 17 seasons as part of this team. Despite his inability at scrambling, he pursued a successful career as a football quarterback well-known for his quick release. His only Super Bowl match was against San Francisco 49ers. Unfortunately, his team Miami Dolphins lost the match. He is considered as one of the finest quarterbacks in the history of American football for his playing techniques like his quick release and usage of powerful arms. He is the founding member of Laureus World Sports Academy. He has worked as a studio analyst for HBO’s show ‘Inside the NFL’. Presently he acts as an analyst for CBS’s show ‘The NFL Today’, broadcast on Sunday. ‘The Sporting News’ ranked him 27th position in its list of hundred greatest football players.
