Coast Guard Finds Missing Boat Used by NFL Players, One Person Recovered

The Coast Guard has reportedly found the missing boat used by four men, including two NFL players, and have recovered one of those men, Nick Schuyler, who had been clinging to the overturned vessel.

Coast Guard officials have not found Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, Detroit Lions defensive end Corey Smith or the fourth man William Bleakley but all three were believed to be wearing life jackets.

The four men set out on a fishing trip off Florida’s Gulf Coast early Saturday morning but never returned. By Sunday morning they were reported missing and the Coast Guard has since searched more than 16,000 square miles off the Gulf Coast.

It is believed the men were surprised by a cold front that swept in on Saturday and that may have contributed to rough seas and the boat overturning. The search for Cooper, Smith and Bleakley is continuing and rescue crews have concentrate their efforts on a smaller area around where the boat was found.
