"I was involved in a drug conference in Washington, D.C., where different alternatives to the drug problem were presented," McCoy said. "These people never once mentioned at all that Christ was an alternative. "To me, Christ is the only solution to the drug problems," McCoy said. "I think this shows that man has a basic need, that he has a void in his life and that man is seeking to find peace. "I found Jesus Christ to be the answer." Evans said.

"He gave me a direction and purpose in life, more than I could ever attain in my material, educational and athletic achievements." Roger Staubach of the Dallas Cowboys and Mike McCoy of the Green Bay Packers said they thought the drug problem among professional athletes was exaggerated. "I would say that the percentage of drugs for football players is no different than the percentage of drugs in society," Staubach said. "I feel that from what I can see from being involved with a lot of guys in the league that the drug problem in profoot-ball is blown a long way out of proportion," McCoy said.

Many of them are trying to get their message across, not only to other athletes, but to the youth of America, said David R. Hannah, national director of Athletes in Action. "We make every effort to provide a platform for the top athletes in our country to share with millions of youth that they have found workable, viable answers to their problems, particularly in the area of drugs." Hannah said. "Many outstanding athletes have themselves taken drugs at one time or another in their lives and after becoming Christians have found that they no longer needed to rely on drugs to help their performance." he said. Dennis Pete of the Denver Broncos and Dave Rowe of the New England Patriots both said they once used drugs.

"People need a crutch," said Pete, who went off drugs while he was in college. "I know that when a person comes off hard drugs he has to replace it with something. I believe that the only thing you can replace it with is a relationship with Jesus Christ." "Players rely on drugs as a crutch just like I did." said Rowe. "But lately on bur team I've seen quite a few guys who have really made a decision for Christ. "They have found something they can turn on to that will never let them down," said Rowe.

"One of the big reasons Christianity has become so strong in professional football. I think, is because a lot of players have found that you can rely on Christ and that He won't let you down." "Just another example of people trying to find fulfillment." said Norm Evans of the Miami Dolphins.
