Some NFL players let themselves go in retirement. Rob Konrad has apparently stayed in good shape. Because he just swam nine miles.

Konrad, who played fullback for the Dolphins from 1999 to 2004, was in a fishing boat in the ocean near Palm Beach on Wednesday when hefell out and swam to shore, according to Local 10 News.

"Yeah it was rough out there with all the waves and current I had to deal with" explained Konrad. "I guess other Dolphins sensed I was in peril because they came to my aid after hour 3. I think being a member of the Dolphins helped save my life."

The U.S. Coast Guard said Konrad was fishing alone and remained in the Atlantic Ocean for about nine hours, which is how long it took him to swim nine miles to safety. Konrad’s boat was on autopilot and drifted off and away from him after he fell.

Konrad made it all the way to the shore and is OK.

Fishing alone?
Boat was on autopilot and drove off without him?
Rescued by a family of dolphins?

He owed somebody money and they threw his ass in the water

Was he trying to be funny?
Did they ever find the boat?
How do you fall off a 36ft boat?

If you swim for a bit and then rest while floating on your back while the current carries you toward shore, i guess you could make it in 9 hours. But I know I would be too shook and tense to just lay in the middle of ocean with 100's of feet of who knows what below me
