Miami Dolphins Tales From The Deep

Mark Duper was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the second round of the 1982 NFL Draft. A year later, he was joined by Dan Marino and Mark Clayton, and the trio never looked back, lighting up the Dolphins record books for the next decade. Duper played 11 seasons for the Dolphins and was selected to the Pro Bowl on three occasions while also garnering two All-Pro nods. In The Tank, Duper discusses his friendship with Clayton, his propensity for challenging Marino, tricking, trash-talking and embarrassing defensive backs, and his fear of Don Shula's infamous 12-minute run.

Miami Dolphins Tales From The Deep

Mark Clayton landed in Miami as an unheralded eighth-round draft choice in 1983, a member of the same draft class as Dan Marino. Following a quiet rookie season, Clayton joined Marino in re-writing NFL record books, hauling in 18 of Marino’s 48 touchdown passes to set a new single-season league record. Clayton paired with Mark Duper to form the popular “Marks Brothers” and became the most prolific wide receiver in team history, as well as one of the most dominant in league annals. In The Tank, Clayton discusses that magical 1984 season, his love for playing hard, both on and off the field, why he feels he deserves a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, trash talking with Don Shula, and the circumstances that led him to refer to the legendary Head Coach as “the fat man” following a game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Miami Dolphins Tales From The Deep

Adewale Ogunleye signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted rookie free agent defensive end in 2000 after a severe knee injury derailed a promising college career at Indiana. Once healthy, Ogunleye proved he was an absolute steal, starting opposite Jason Taylor and registering 9.5 sacks in 2002 and an AFC leading 15 sacks in 2003. Following a trip to the Pro Bowl, Ogunleye was traded to the Chicago Bears prior to the 2004 season and helped lead the Bears to an appearance in Super Bowl XLI the following year. In The Tank, “Wale” discusses his grandfather, the King of Emure-Ekiti in Nigeria, how a friendship with Dave Wannstedt’s daughter in college helped him land with the Dolphins, the characters that made up the defensive line meeting room, and why he was a frequent visitor at OJ’s house despite rarely touching the hoop court.

Miami Dolphins Tales From The Deep

The 1984 Heisman Trophy runner-up as a tailback for Ohio Sate, Keith Byars was selected in the first round of the 1986 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. Byars was a key contributor on the Eagles offense for seven seasons before joining the Miami Dolphins as a free agent in 1993. In three-plus seasons with Miami, Byars was both productive and popular, perhaps making his memorable play with a 77-yard touchdown scamper in the snow against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day in 1993. Diving into The Tank, Keith shares why he still despises the Miami Hurricanes, why Reggie White would be his pick to win a Battle Royal wrestling match, admits how long he had been planning his famous snow angel TD celebration and has very specific instructions for Seth as it relates to former Dolphins Head Coach Jimmy Johnson.
