GUY MCINTYRE (One Way 2 Play Spokesperson)

Considered by many to be one of the most effective youth communicators around, Guy McIntyre brings passion and deep concern to the critical issues of today.

A former professional football player with the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers, Guy’s articulate, relevant message of motivation and success engages the most difficult to reach students with life-changing insight. Guy’s anti drug and alcohol message challenges and leaves youth excited about their lives and their future.

Much of Guy’s fire is fueled by personal experience.  During his rookie season in the NFL, Guy became heavily involved in drugs and alcohol. The drugs and alcohol began affecting not only his play but his personal life. He realized he needed to make a change in his life or else he would no longer be living his dream of playing professional football. After hitting rock bottom and having nowhere to look but up, Guy dedicated his life to Jesus Christ. It was after this encounter with the Lord that he sought help from a man he trusted, Coach Bill Walsh, and admitted himself into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.  All this led to both a physical and spiritual transformation in his life and enabled Guy to go on and play 13 seasons in the NFL and he never looked back. He is a former five time All-Pro Lineman and three time Super Bowl Champion. He is an inductee of the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.  Guy travels the Bay Area as one of our One Way 2 Play: Drug Free spokesman for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and communicates with relentless fervor to end drug use and abuse.

His articulate blend of an inspirational yet practical message leaves students gripped by his message and destined for change. High school principals, teachers and counselors have responded tremendously to his presentations, which confront current issues from peer pressure to positive values, from alcohol abuse to freedom from the chemical culture, from dropping out to academic leadership, and encouraging students who have made positive choices. A scholarship athlete and graduate of the University of Georgia, Guy has been living and working for the San Francisco Forty-Niners, for more than 15 years. He is currently the 49ers Director of Player Development amongst a series of various roles.  Guy also serves as board member for FCA and is the headliner for the annual FCA Guy McIntyre Golf Classic Fundraiser. 

Guy and his wife Kim were married in June of 2007.
