Terrell Davis

In 2017, Pro Football Hall of Fame Running Back Terrell Davis first used CBD to recover after a workout—and it genuinely changed his life. Through it, he was able to recover faster between workouts and achieve a level of locked-in focus that helped him defy the challenges that hold athletes back: his injury history, his overworked muscles and the deteriorating effects of age. Inspired to share these benefits with all athletes and exercise fans alike, Terrell teamed up with Megan Bushell and Beau Wehrle on a mission to launch DEFY.
