Marino wasn't first team all pro from 1986 on, I find that a little amazing. I know that those years go right into the Elway and Montana Super Bowl years but still. Not even once more after 1986...wow!

Haven't you heard of Michael Jordan??

Jake Scott and Dick Anderson

I'm the same way,so don't think we are old just more seasoned that's all...lol and as for as the #39 goe's just think they don't five it out to a player as respect for Him. Look we all have diff fav players out there,some like the JT and Zack attack,while some of us rember the killer B's,or the Marks brothers. Or 1 of my fav is F.Edmonds the all pro (te) we had before K.Jackson. So diff #'s means diff things to some ppl. But come on we all should know that nobody and I mean nobody should wear #13 or #39.

UPDATE: Edds is wearing No. 49 today, not 54.

still say start him off with #56 then work his way up to #54........for you young guys out there #56 was J.Offerdahell.

Unless Miami plans on retiring that number #54 (which I doubt) its gonna have to be used at some point. Might as well bite the bullet and just pass it out. Longer ya wait, more of a story (or non-story) it becomes

Yes, but you don't give the No. to a late-round rookie coming in trying to earn a spot on the team. You give it to an established player or high draft choice. There is a reason he's not wearing it today.

It's a requirement of Iowa linebackers. They don't run any sort of nickel package and stick with a 4-3 essentially the entire game. Norm Parker believes his LB's can cover any sort of spread...unfortunately, most years we get burnt when playing OSU and Northwestern.
