Yes, he quit, then he was suspended multiple times. But when he had the football in his hand, he was special.

Carried tacklers to the end zone. Carried his team to Super Bowls.

Warfield could be a 2,000-yard receiver in today's game; Clayton did it all, short, deep, across the middle, along the sideline.

That kick against Kansas City in 1971? Classic.

Two-step boomer.

The best there ever was on special teams.

Bob Griese has the rings, but, sorry, this category is a runaway for the record-setting Marino. No contest.

Williams was controversial, but also prolific and good enough to leave just 301 yards shy of Csonka’s career record, and to edge Mercury Morris for second RB spot.

Zonk was key to those 1972-73 Super Bowl wins and remains club’s all-time leading rusher.

No Dolphin to this day has caught more passes than Clayton’s 550 or more for TDs than Clayton’s 81. Duper is the career leader in receiving yards (8,869) averaged a big 17.4 per catch, good enough to beat Paul Warfield and Nat Moore for second WR spot.

Career abbreviated by a knee injury, but Stephenson still edges Jim Langer as Fins’ greatest center.

Jensen was a utilityman who played several positions, but none better than the kamikaze special-teams role that led to his nickname, “Crash.”
