Just not this deep.
A former Miami Hurricanes and NFL player died after he was blown off his fishing boat by a gust of wind and struggled in the water until other boaters found him face down.
Stanley Shakespeare, 42, a 6-foot wide receiver with the 1983 national champion Hurricanes team and a 1987 strike replacement player with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was about three-quarters of a mile off Jupiter Inlet when he went overboard Tuesday.
That's a shame - relatively young, too.
The guy was six-foot wide. No wonder he couldn't swim.
