What The 1972 Dolphins Look Like Now
Ойын-сауық
It’s an incredibly rare thing for an NFL team to remain undefeated throughout the entirety of a season. In fact, ever since the incorporation of the playoff system in 1932, only one team has ever done it: The 1972 Miami Dolphins. In their seventh season overall and their third in the NFL, the Dolphins laid waste to every team that came their way, including the venerable Washington Redskins (who were recently renamed as the Washington Commanders) in Super Bowl VII. From incredible coaching to an impeccable team filled with players who had mastered their respective roles, there were many reasons that contributed to their perfect season. But what followed such perfection? We’re here to delve into the career trajectories of the 1972 team and see what they all look like today.

It was killer also I forgot to mention Earl Morrall he replaced Griese when he go hurt and went undefeated and Griese went back in at AFC championship game. Good memories.
Kiick, Jake Scott, Mandich, Garo Yepremian, Earl Morrall.....some big names of that era left out.
1972. A great time to be a NFL fan. So many great players back then. Just saying.

I was a young kid then ( 6 years old),but I remember parts of it. I was born in 66. Just like the Dolphins were "born" in 66. I guess no wonder I'm a lifelong(and lately suffering) Dolphins Fan.
My favorite team as a kid. The World Football League ruined the Dolphins when they lost czonka, kick, and I think warfield. They were never the same.

The Dolphins might have won a couple of more Super Bowls in the mid 1970’s if the WFL had not raided their roster and stolen their star players. At the very least, they would have mounted a strong challenge to the Steeler dynasty of the mid 70’s, if they were able to keep their championship team intact. The WFL was nothing more than a damn nuisance, and a damn joke. Nevertheless, they ruined Coach Shula’s championship Dolphins ball club.
The only perfect season in NFL history!
This was an extremely balanced and well rounded team and their mental toughness was unmatched at the time. If they didn't lose the trio the WFL in 1975 they would have won more Super Bowls. Sadly their greatness was largely overshadowed by the Pittsburgh Steeler dynasty that came right afterwards.
Dick Anderson and Jake Scott warrant inclusion in this Dolphins video!! They were two members of the no name defense as well!! Important contributors to that successful season!!

Anderson and Scott were all pro and without them they don't go undefeated or win the bowl without them and I was there in 72 and 73.

70 Steelers we’re just as good, or better.
I’ve been waiting for this video 🥲 perfect season
The original perfect season 😍
Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins NUMBER ONEEEEEEE....
Without Dick Anderson and Jake Scott they don't go undefeated and don't win the Superbowl. Anderson lead them in tackles and Scott lead the league in interceptions.
You didn't mention my late uncle Jim mandich
My family and I just moved to Florida that year. I was14. Have been a Dolphins fan since
Offense line opened quarter mile holes looked sweet from our end zone season tickets
I LOVE Dolphins MY # 1QB. DAN MARIANO. 😊
Great 😃👍 Memories. Great 😃👍 Players. Thank you for Sharing This
It was great! Undefeated says it all.
Wow! This was awesome. WILL THERE EVER BE A MOVIE ABOUT COACH DON SHULA & THE ONLY MODERN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM THAT WENT UNDEFEATED & WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP??
Kolen was a great linebacker.
I never heard of that LB , #57. Must be the reason they were called the “No name defense”.
Manny Fernandez is probably the most entertaining guy on those team. Him and Csonka went into the Everglades, caught an alligator and put it in Shula’s shower.
POSSIBLE THE #1 and #2. EVER IN HISTORY IN THE N.F.L. .😊
"As a new teenager that year, young people take their home team very, very seriously. When the Dolphins defeated my new team the Washington Redskins to win the Superbowl and complete the only undefeated season in NFL history, I can truly say that I have never really got over that loss. The sight of any dolphin in the sea or on TV makes me sick........lol

you got revenge on us in January 1983.
Nick Buoniconti, Jim Kiick, Bill Stanfil, Earl Morrall and Jake Scott have all passed away from CTE related illnesses. Nick Buoniconti had said as he declined that he wished he never had played football.
Csonka was in one of the goofiest episodes of the Six Million Dollar Man along with Dick Butkus
Interesting no Jim Mandich?
Interesting 🇬🇧🏴🤔😁👍
im a phins fan through and through, but don shula doesnt have a "SAFE" lead in the most winning coach, i would love for him to hold it for the rest of time, but that pole smoker for the patriots is most likely gonna surpass him in 3-4 years at the most
Zsonka the Tonka (toy truck).
What do they look like now? I'm going with old.
W-L wise the best NFL team ever, I still wish Tom Brady/Ronald Moss would have join them in their greatnes.
