I found a site that talks about it. The year was 1983.
"We’re about to witness the greatest stroke of Dolphins fortune since the Kansas City Chiefs worked out Todd Blackledge and Dan Marino on successive days, thought Blackledge was the real deal and set into motion Marino’s draft-day freefall to the Dolphins’ 27th pick."
Interesting factoid:
Marino was drafted by baseball's Kansas City Royals, but opted to attend the University of Pittsburgh.
