| Dan Marino is the only NFL QB to throw for 60,000 yards. |
After 17 seasons in the NFL, Dan Marino announced his retirement at a press conference on Monday. The last active member of the esteemed quarterback Class of '83, Marino holds the league's career marks for passing yardage, touchdown passes and completions and ranks second only to John Elway with 147 victories. The 38-year-old Marino leaves the game as the NFL's most prolific passer but also as the greatest QB never to win a Super Bowl.
