What a beast.
Rob Konrad found OK on beach
Rob Konrad, a former six-year Miami Dolphins fullback, survived a boating accident in the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday night by swimming nine miles to shore, the Coast Guard said.
According to multiple reports, Konrad, who was said to be fishing alone off the coast of South Florida, fell from his boat, which had been operating on autopilot.
Petty Officer Mark Barney of U.S. Coast Guard told ABC News that Konrad was in the water for 10 to 12 hours.
Konrad played from the Dolphins from 1999 to 2004, starting 57 games while playing in 82. He was released by Miami in March 2005.
Friends alerted authorities when Konrad did not return from the fishing trip as expected, the reports said.
After a brief search, Konrad was found on the beach by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office at 4:40 a.m. ET on Thursday morning.
Konrad was treated at a hospital for hypothermia and released. He reportedly declined to speak to local media about the event.
ABC News reported Konrad was listed on a website for investment firm KT Capital as a principal.
