TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – The Coast Guard says it has found a person clinging to an overturned boat off Florida’s Gulf Coast but did not confirm whether it is the one missing with two NFL players aboard.
Corey Smith, a free-agent defensive end who played for the Detroit Lions last season, and Marquis Cooper, an Oakland Raiders linebacker, are two of the four people aboard the boat that didn’t return from a fishing trip Saturday.
Petty Officer Sondra-Kay Kneen says searchers located an overturned boat Monday but provided no further details.
The men were reported missing Sunday. The Coast Guard has searched about 16,000 square miles of ocean for the 21-foot boat.
