LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 21, 2012) - BODYARMOR SuperDrink™ announces today that pro football Superstars Jason Pierre-Paul and LeSean McCoy have joined BODYARMOR SuperDrink™ as partners and investors. The announcement comes a week after New England gridiron star Rob Gronkowski also joined as a partner in the SuperDrink™ brand.
As partners and investors, the trio's talents will be utilized in national and regional events, charitable endeavors, product testing and more.
"Rob, Jason and LeSean all share the common aspiration to be Super," said Lance Collins, Founder and CEO, BODYARMOR SuperDrink™. "BODYARMOR is a 'SuperDrink' because its nutrition and hydration exceed any existing category description. Our young brand partners continually defy any label ascribed to them. On and off the field, they embody what BODYARMOR SuperDrink™ stands for. They are Super."
Pierre-Paul, "The Haitian Sensation," has defied limits since first taking up football as a high school junior. "JPP" played one season of major college football at South Florida before becoming a first round selection in the 2010 draft. Last year, he led his team with 16.5 sacks as his New York team won the world title.
"In our sport, 'Super' is a special word because raising that trophy is unlike any other feeling," said Pierre-Paul. "BODYARMOR SuperDrink gives me that superior nutrition and hydration to be my best on the field, when it matters most."
McCoy has been a revelation for Philadelphia since entering the league in 2009. His 2011 totals of 17 rushing touchdowns and 20 total touchdowns both smashed team marks held since 1945. Off the field, the Harrisburg, Pa. native has used his influence to raise funds for ALS and other worthy causes.
"Many of my teammates and players in the league are big believers in the BODYARMOR brand," said McCoy. "I compete hard on the field, and drink BODYARMOR because it gives me the nutrition and hydration I need to gain that extra yard. There is nothing else like it."
