At the time of his retirement, Marino held more than 40 NFL single-season and career passing records, including career passing attempts (8,358), completions (4,967), passing yards (61,361), touchdown passes (420) and most consecutive pass attempts without being sacked (759).
Marino was also the first quarterback in NFL history to reach over 5,000 yards passing in a season (1984).
He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005 in his first year of eligibility, and is currently one of only three former Miami Dolphins to have his jersey number (13) retired.
Marino recently told ESPN’s Kevin Clark in an interview that if he could turn back time and play in today’s NFL, he would throw for over 6,000 yards.
Thousands of Miami Dolphins fans still wear Marino jerseys on gameday at Hard Rock Stadium and all around the world.
