About Dan Marino, Hall of Famer

Dan Marino was a quarterback who spent his entire 15-season NFL career with the Miami Dolphins after playing college football at the University of Pittsburgh. Selected 27th overall in the 1983 draft, he quickly became one of football's most prolific passers, known for his quick release and powerful arm. Marino led Miami to the playoffs ten times and a Super Bowl appearance, though the team fell short against San Francisco. A nine-time Pro Bowl selection and eight-time All-Pro, he set numerous passing records including becoming the first quarterback to reach 5,000 yards in a season. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005 on his first ballot.

Did you know? In 1984, Marino set an NFL single-season record with 48 touchdown passes, achieved nine 300-yard passing games, and four 400-yard passing games—a level of dominance that earned him the NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards.
