TOM BRADY VS DAN MARINO: QUARTERBACKS GO HEAD TO HEAD IN FLORIDA - WITH NEW SPECIALTY LICENSE PLATES - MICHAEL TOWNER

​Two new Florida specialty license plates are now in a race to complete their Presale Voucher phase, where they have to get 3,000 before the plate will be made - both featuring quarterbacks.

The Dan Marino license plate will benefit the Dan Marino Campus, Tom Brady's image is being used to benefit Best Buddies International. ​Both organizations have chosen a black background, which is trending throughout the United states.
So who will be the first to complete their presale? And which plate will sell more? The Florida Legislature prioritized their list of new plates when approving them this year, and the DMV must cycle through them for approval in that order. Marino starts at #11 in the order of plates to be approved, Brady/Best Buddies is at #21. 

With Tom Brady still playing, and Dan Marino retired, a comparison of the two quarterbacks can still be made. Both were measured at 6' 4" and nearly 225 lbs, Marino was drafted in the 1st round (27th overall) in 1983 and Brady was drafted in the 6th round (199th overall) in 2000. Brady has appeared in 9 Super Bowls, Marino in 1. Brady has been voted NFL MVP 3 times, Marino 1.
