5. QB Dan Marino
Dan Marino is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. Drafted in the 1st round of the 1983 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins, “Dan the Man” went on to set numerous passing records that would later be broken by Peyton Manning. The amount of football accolades that Marino possesses could have a slideshow by themselves so we won’t list all of them
He won the MVP of the National Football league in 1984 and made 9 Pro Bowls.
What most non-diehard Dan Marino fans don’t know about him is that he was an incredible baseball player that could have flourished in the MLB had he stuck with it.
He was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 1979 amateur draft but did not sign with the club. As a senior in high school, Marino went 23-0 as a pitcher and hit over .500 playing shortstop when he wasn’t pitching.
