Manny Fernandez
former Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle

Manny Fernandez played eight seasons for the Miami Dolphins as well as three Super Bowls for the Dolphins. From 1968 through 1973 Fernandez was voted as the Dolphins "Outstanding Defensive Lineman" even though Pro Bowlers like Bill Stanfill and Vern Den Herder were on the same line. Manny Fernandez was a strong contender for MVP of Super Bowl VII. Wrote Nick Buoniconti, "It was the game of his life–in fact, it was the most dominant game by a defensive lineman in the history of the game, and he would never be given much credit for it. They should have given out two game balls and made Manny Fernandez the co-MVP with Jake Scott." In January, 2001, was named to Pro Football Weekly's All-Time Super Bowl team. In 2006, USA Today named Manny to the USA TODAY's All-time Super Bowl team. In 2007 was voted to the Dolphins All-Time team. Fernandez had previously been voted to the 1990 Dolphins Silver Anniversary Team that celebrated the Dolphins' 25 years in the NFL.
