Using the model of ESPN's new series I thought it might be fun to see who you guys would put on the Miami Dolphins Mt. Rushmore? I am 22 years old and never got to see the '70s Dolphins so I left them off my list. I would appreciate everyone else to stick to the players in your own generation. Plus dont simply put the best player, use your heart a little bit in making your decision.
Here is my list...
Dan Marino- Im sure he will be on everyones list. He is the reason I became a Dolphin fan. Which is insaine since I grew up in Packer country, and am the grandson of Packer season ticket holder (since the icebowl). My role mode,l my inspiration (both on and off the field)!
Pat Surtain- I played CB in highschool and college. He has been the closest thing to a shutdown corner the Fins have ever had. I modeled my playing style around him. Plus any one who can change the pronunciation of his name half way through their career and get everyone to go along with it, your a stud.
Zach Thomas- An undersized guy who continuely was told he wouldnt make. Then went on to have a hall of fame type career. I still have an article I frame from SI. It was an interveiw with Zach. He said, during his first game he was standing on the sidelines with Larry Izzo. He had tears streaming down his face, but he didnt care he know he had made it.
OJ McDuffie- After the Marx brothers, he was the best WR Dan ever had. He wasnt the fastest and didnt have the greatest hands. But he was a great route runner and Dan knew he could be counted on. Will never forget when he caught Dannys 400th td. (I believe it was against the Saints).
