Former Miami Dolphins legend and Hall of Famer, Dan Marino, was recently asked to name his four picks for the Mount Rushmore of NFL Quarterbacks, and he instead named three... one of them being our very own John Elway.
The duo of friendly rivals (or rivaling friends?) dates all the way back to the 1983 NFL Draft, when Elway was selected first overall and Marino 27th. These selections highlighted that draft class and precipitated three face-offs between the quarterbacks — two of them ending in a loss for Denver, but a third ending in a postseason victory that would take them to the AFC Championship (oh yeah, and a Super Bowl win).
