this is notable for South Florida fans for a couple of reasons. One, Josh's brother, former USC QB John David Booty is in the 2008 draft and might be considered by the Dolphins with one of their 3rd or 4th round picks. Two, Josh Booty was one of the biggest busts in Marlins draft history. In 1994, Dave Dombrowski selected him 5th overall out of high school and gave him a giant signing bonus at the time that prevented him from playing college football. He was terrible. He did have a small cup of coffee with the Marlins but eventually was released. Later draft picks from that class were Nomar Garciaparra (12th), Jason Varitek (#14) & Troy Glaus (#37)
