That season helped solidify his place as a cornerstone of the Dolphins’ passing attack.Together with fellow wide receiver Mark Clayton, Duper formed the legendary “Marks Brothers” duo. This dynamic pairing terrorized defenses throughout the 1980s with their speed, precision, and chemistry with Marino. Their ability to stretch the field and produce highlight-reel plays helped define an era of Miami Dolphins football and left an indelible mark on NFL history.In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the team, Mark Duper was honored with induction into the Miami Dolphins Walk of Fame and, in 2003, was enshrined alongside Clayton in the Dolphins Ring of Honor.
