Terrell Davis

Super Bowl XXXII MVP & Co-Founder of DEFY, the First CBD Infused Performance Drink in the US

Terrell Davis was selected in the sixth round, 196th player overall, of the 1995 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. The little-known back made a big splash when he earned a starting role at tailback as a rookie. He strung together four spectacular seasons before a devastating knee injury, that limited him to just 17 games over his final three seasons, prematurely ended his pro career. After retiring from pro-football, Terrell went on to co-found DEFY, the first CBD infused performance drink in the U.S. that is built specifically for athletes.

A three-time All-Pro selection, Davis rushed for 7,607 yards and 60 TDs in just 78 career games. He added an additional 1,280 yards on 169 career catches and four TD receptions. Davis was elected to three Pro Bowls and named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1990s. Despite missing the final two games of his rookie campaign with a hamstring tear, Terrell eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark and also added a career-high 49 receptions for 367 yards in 1995. He improved his rushing total in each of the next three seasons, and in his second year, he was named the Offensive Player of the Year when he ran for 1,538 yards and 13 TDs.

In 1998, Terrell became just the fourth runner in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. He gained 2,008 yards and again led the NFL with 21 rushing touchdowns to spark the Broncos to a 14-2 regular season record en route to Denver’s second straight Super Bowl title.  In the 1998 playoffs, Davis rushed for a franchise postseason-record 199 yards against the Miami Dolphins in the divisional playoff, 167 yards versus the New York Jets in the championship and capped the season with 102 yards in the Broncos’ Super Bowl XXXIII victory over the Atlanta Falcons. He then earned MVP honors in Super Bowl XXXII after rushing for 157 yards and three TDs in the Broncos’ 31-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Terrell first used hemp extract in 2017 to recover after a workout, and it changed his life. 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: injury history, overworked muscles and the deteriorating effects of age. Inspired to share these benefits with all athletes, Terrell and his team embarked on a mission to launch DEFY. Formulated to aid in rapid muscle fiber recovery and clear-headed, hyper-focused training, DEFY delivers naturally derived performance, recovery and rejuvenation for every kind of athlete.
