Anyone know who this guy's dad was?

[Hardpoint]

This guy on The Bachelorette, who goes by the name of Twilley, mentioned on tonight's show that his dad played for the Miami Dolphins for 11 years. Anyone know who his dad might be? His bio on the official show website lists him as 33, from Tulsa, OK. Here's the link to his bio. http://abc.go.com/primetime/bachelorette/index?pn=bios#t=bachelors&d=105242

I got ropped into watching it too...

I rushed to the computer to find out who his dad is. His name is Howard Twilley and he played for the 72 dolphins!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Twilley

One of the last original Dolphins, he scored the first TD in SB VII catching a pass from Bob Griese.

Doesnt look like a wide reciever to me

HE NEVER DID LOOK LIKE A WR OR RUN LIKE ONE OR BLOCK LIKE ONE BUT HE COULD GET OPEN AND CATCH . KINDA LIKE A FRED BALITNAKOFF TYPE.

You should be old enough to remember Howard Twilley! Great tight end for a long time. And a little wacky, too!

He was fun to watch.

212 receptions 3064 yds. and 23 TD's

I remember watching him too! It makes me feel old that someone on this board did not recognize the name Twilley and had to ask who he was (No disrespect intended, it is good to be young, enjoy it). Twilley was just a blue collar guy who produced. He did not have speed or grace, but that was Warfield's role.

I had a couple of his football cards until we moved and my mom decided that the boxes and boxes of cards I had were "junk" and tossed them.:boohoo:

Howard Twilly was Jimmy Cefalo before there was a Jimmy
Cefalo for the Dolphins.
Great compliment for the other side of Paul Warfield.

If he looks anything like his father he'll be off the show pretty quickly.
