Three football players missing

This is crazy stuff -- three men are missing after their boat flipped over Saturday night. A fourth person with them was found clinging to an overturned boat this morning off Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The group went out for a weekend fishing trip -- the boat flipped and three went missing.

Survivor Nick Schuyler, a former University of South Florida player, told rescuers that the 21-foot boat was anchored when it flipped Saturday evening in rough seas and that the others got separated from the boat.

The boat belongs to Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, who along with free-agent defensive lineman Corey Smith and former South Florida player William Bleakley, remain missing.


Schuyler’s mother, Marsha Schuyler, said her son told her that he survived by thinking about how he didn’t want her to go to his funeral.

You guys might remember Corey Smith -- he was a standout at NC State.

Lets hope they find the guys soon.
