Page 14-Saturday, June 19, 1982-The Michigan Daily Rozelle finally admits that drug usage in the NFL is a NEW YORK (AP)- National Football League Com- missioner Pete Rozelle says drug use in the NFL "could be a larger problem for us than it is in society," and former defensive end Carl Eller believes 15 percent of the league's 1,500 players are "problem users."
