Tony Dungy:

" I accepted Christ at a young age as my family told me about Jesus and what He did for me. Most people considered me a "good person," yet as I grew older my love for sports was definitely stronger than my interest in Christianity. My faith took a back seat. When I joined the Steelers, I roomed with Donnie Shell. In addition to having great athletic ability, he and several other Christians stood out as they daily demonstrated their faith. As I talked with these guys and attended team Bible studies, God's Holy Spirit lit a fire in me. I have learned that accepting Christ requires total commitment and that football is not the most important thing. My second year as a Pittsburgh Steeler we won the Super Bowl. That highlighted my brief playing career. But the highlight of my life was when I asked Jesus Christ into my heart. The thrill of winning a Super Bowl is temporary—receiving Christ counts for eternity."
