From ABC comes a scary story out of Florida. Three NFL players are on a fishing boat that is missing off the Gulf Coast in Clearwater.

One reportedly plays for the Lions, and another plays for the Raiders.

A 21-foot boat with four passengers left from Clearwater Pass at 6:30 a.m. EST on Saturday. It was due to return after dark but never arrived.

A friend called the Coast Guard at 1:30 a.m. EST on Sunday and reported the boat missing.

Per the report, officials say that the Gulf waters are extremely choppy and that it’s believed the boat is in distress.

More to come.

Marquis Cooper, Corey Smith and Nick Skyler

Coast Guard is searching for four missing boaters


On a side note, it has been very cold here (for this area) - near freezing - and also very windy.
In addition there was a heavy rainstorm here last night.

Smith and Cooper played together on Tampa a few years ago.

Smith and Cooper played together on Tampa a few years ago.

I see. Is Skyler even in the NFL? He doesn't come up in the NFL.com search...

 

[Kontradiction]

That is horrible news. Going missing or being capsized in mid-sea is one of my worst nightmares... especially in the Gulf. Hopefully everyone is okay and the boat turns up soon with everyone okay.

I do not know if the was his first name, but wasn't there a Skyler who played for LSU and was a kick returner in the NFL for a while (also WR). Dallas at one point? Skyler Greene?
