Daniel Constantine Marino Jr. (born September 15, 1961) is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 17 seasons with the Miami Dolphins. Marino was the last quarterback taken in the first round of the 1983 draft. Despite never being on a Super Bowl-winning team, he is recognized among the greatest quarterbacks in American football history.

Marino helped the Dolphins become consistent postseason contenders, leading them to the playoffs ten times and one Super Bowl appearance in XIX, although a title victory ultimately eluded him during his career. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest players to never win a Super Bowl and has the most career victories of quarterbacks not to win a title at 155.

A nine-time Pro Bowl selection, 6 time first or second team AP All-Pro, and All-AFC six times. Marino was voted NFL Rookie of the Year by "Sporting News". The following season in 1984, Marino was the NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP), when he set single-season records of 5,084 passing yards, 48 touchdown passes, nine 300-yard passing games, and four 400-yard passing games. He was voted the 1994 NFL Comeback Player of the Year, and the 1998 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. Marino held more than 40 NFL single-season and career passing records many of which have since been surpassed. He was the first quarterback to reach 400 career touchdown passes. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
