Related: About this forumFormer Miami Dolphins player Rob Konrad swims 9 miles after falling off boat
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/sfl-rob-konrad-swims-9-miles-ocean-dolphins-20150108-story.htmlFormer Miami Dolphins fullback Rob Konrad swam nine miles back to shore after falling off his boat while fishing off the South Florida coast..
The U.S. Coast Guard reports that Konrad had gone fishing alone Wednesday after being dropped off at a Boca Raton dock. Friends became concerned after he didn't meet them for dinner, and the Coast Guard later sent a helicopter to look for him.
The Coast Guard said Konrad apparently fell off the 36-foot boat, which had been on auto pilot. Unable to get back to the boat, Konrad began swimming toward shore. He made it some time after 4 a.m. Thursday and contacted the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
