CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) – Coast Guard crews off Florida’s Gulf Coast are searching for four missing boaters, including at least one that might play for the NFL.
The Coast Guard issued a statement saying Corey Smith and Victor “Marquis” Cooper were among the boaters reported missing Sunday morning.
They were on a 21-foot boat that left Clearwater Pass on Saturday morning for a fishing trip and did not return as expected.
Detroit Lions spokesman Bill Keenist said he had heard that Lions defensive end Corey Smith was aboard a missing boat, but hadn’t been able to confirm it.
Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer Sondra Kneen said she could not immediately confirm whether any of the missing boaters were NFL players.
