Hey guys sorry if this is in the wrong place. Looking for info on a guy who says he played with the dolphins from 1987-91. Figured it would be easy look at the all time roster but alas nothing. Don't want to call him a liar but there is nothing out there. No player is on the practice squad for 5 seasons so i cant see that... any help would be great.
I am doing research but thinking someone here may be of help.

Player????

Sam McClain 1987-91.

Thanks all.

Here is a link to the 1988 Miami Dolphins roster:

http://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/miami-dolphins/roster/1988

Other historical Dolphins rosters can be found at the same site. I'm not going to check them all but I assume that Mr. McClain is not on any of them. I suppose it's possible you are remembering his name wrong.

I don't know what this question is in reference to generally, but if my suspicion is correct, do not accept money from this person.
 
A lot of people claim they played for an NFL team, even if they were just with the team for one day of mini-camp. It would be hard to prove because it's hard to get a record of every player that had a try out in 1987. However it would be much easier to prove if he played for Boston College because college teams list every player on the roster and to be honest if you're not good enough to have your name on your college roster you're not likely to be getting an NFL tryout.
 
Thanks. I looked all over all thoes rosters and other places 1st. He works with someone i know and has said he played for them during that time. He asked me as i am a die hard fan and a little OCD on dolphins stuff. I have his name correct. All signs point to him making this up.
Thanks guys i figured i was right but wanted some backup to my decision.
 
Didn't see anything related to a Mclain being on the Dolphins in that time frame but there was another Mclane, who in 1988 wreaked havoc on a gang of German terrorists.

Interesting you say he played 87-91 for the Dolphins and went to BC, THat's about the same time BC alum Troy Stradford was on the team.
 
Googled "Sam McClain Miami Dolphins" returned a couple interesting results. Someone else asked if a Sam McClain ever played for Miami, and the answer comes back no. Another site is a database for all the Sam McClain's out there, and the top tag associated with the name is Miami Dolphins
 
how much did this guy take off of you?

how much money did you float the old "i was a dolphin" duffer?

even IF you find him, he wont pay you back. and for gods sake, you didnt let him stay in your house did you?

Im pretty sure there was no practice squad in 1987-1991 and nothing shows up on a mclain being on a dolphin roster in those years.
The guy is blatently telling a falsehood.
