Dan Marino Authentic 1979 Central Catholic High School Navy Throwback Jersey
"Start from the beginning of Dan Marino's incredible Hall of Fame Football career when you purchase his popular authentic Catholic Central H.S. throwback jersey! Already an exceptional athlete as a young teen, Dan Marino starred as quarterback for the Vikings of Pittsburgh’s Central Catholic High School. By his senior year in 1979, he was selected to the Parade High School All America team, recruited to play football by numerous major universities, and was also drafted to play baseball for the Kansas City Royals. Ultimately he chose to stay near home and attend the University of Pittsburgh. For the Pittsburgh Panthers, Dan laid a precursor for his NFL achievements by setting NCAA season and career records for attempts and completions, yardage, and touchdowns. He earned All-American honors his junior year, and after his senior season in 1982, Dan’s jersey number was retired by the university. The rest is history as Dan was drafted by the Dolphins in 1983, became the first rookie quarterback ever to start in the Pro Bowl, and amassed NFL records for passing yards (61,361), attempts (8,358), completions (4967), and touchdowns (420) en route to becoming one of if not the greatest and most accomplished quarterbacks ever to play the game. Dan capped off his legacy in February of 2005 when he was named a first ballot inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 100% nylon construction with tackle twill sewn name and number."
