Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino’s favorite receivers

Few quarterbacks come close to the career numbers the great Dan Marino was able to put up during his career. He began his career in 1983 and retired after the 1999 season. He played each of his years in the National Football League with the Miami Dolphins and held most major passing records when he retired. He is known for many things, including being one of the best quarterbacks in history.

Early in his career, Marino and the Dolphins made it to the Super Bowl, only to lose. He would never return to the game again despite the long career he had. Marino threw 420 touchdown passes during his career, but who were his favorite receivers?

The player who caught the most touchdown passes from Marino was wide receiver Mark Clayton with 79. This equates to almost twenty percent of all the touchdown passes he threw during his career.

Second on this list is Dolphins wide receiver Mark Duper at 55. The pairing of Mark Duper and Mark Clayton with Dan Marino made the Dolphins an exciting team to watch.

Third in Marino’s 25 touchdown receptions is wide receiver OJ McDuffie, who spent the 1990s with the team.

Nat Moore was a veteran receiver when Marino joined the team in the early 1980s. He is fourth on the list with 24 touchdown receptions.

Rounding out the top five players in terms of touchdown receptions for this great quarterback is Jim Jensen with 19.
