NFL Players Cling To Capsized Boat. http://ifishct.com/blog/2009/03/02/missing-boaters-florida-nfl-players/ http://ifishct.com/blog/2009/03/02/missing-boaters-florida-nfl-players/#comments Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:32:28 +0000 admin http://ifishct.com/blog/?p=345 Missing Boaters in Clearwater Florida turn out to be 3 NFL players and a former Florida college football player. The four men went on a fishing trip early Saturday and were to return Saturday afternoon, however they did not return and a rescue team was sent out. Luckily according to many news sources one player has been found clinging to the side of a capsized boat 30 miles off the coast of Clearwater FL this morning.

On board the boat were 3 NFL players, Nick Schuyler, 24, of Tampa, Florida. Corey Smith, a defensive end who played last season with the Detroit Lions, linebacker Marquis Cooper, who was with the Oakland Raiders, and William Bleakley, a former Florida college football player.

Nick Schuyler is so far the only man that has been found. He was conscious when Coast Guard found him, and he was able to report that all men aboard had life vests on when the boat tipped. He claimed that high seas and 45 mile an hour winds have been identified as the cause of this 21 ft fishing boat’s capsize.

The search continues for the remaining men. Hopefully they will be found shortly and in good health.
