Daniel Constantine Marino, Jr. (born September 15, 1961) is
an American Hall of Fame quarterback who played for the
Miami Dolphins in the National Football League. The last
quarterback of the Quarterback Class of 1983 to be taken in
the first round, Marino became one of the most prolific
quarterbacks in league history, holding or having held
almost every major NFL passing record. Despite never being
on a Super Bowl-winning team, he is recognized as one of the
greatest quarterbacks in American football history.
Remembered particularly for having a quick release and a
powerful arm, Marino led the Dolphins into the playoffs on
numerous occasions.
