Former Miami Dolphins player swims nine miles to shore after falling off boat
Former Miami Dolphins fullback Rob Konrad apparently fell off his boat off the South Florida coast but arrived safely on shore early Thursday morning after swimming at least 10 hours and nine miles through the Atlantic Ocean waters, according to the Coast Guard..
Konrad was wearing only his underwear when he approached the driveway gate of 1800 S. Ocean Blvd. and told a Palm Beach police officer working a security shift about his incredible experience, a Palm Beach police report says.
"He is OK, he is recovering and he thanks everyone for their concern,'' said family spokesman Harvey Greene, speaking on behalf of Konrad.
Konrad, who spent all six of his NFL seasons (1999-2004) with the Dolphins, told the officer he tripped and fell overboard from his 36-foot boat around 1 p.m. the previous day. He had departed from the Hillsboro Inlet in Deerfield Beach around 10:30 a.m.
