HICKSVILLE, NY, Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Canbiola, Inc. (OTCQB: CANB) (“Canbiola” or the “Company”), a developer, manufacturer and seller of a variety of Cannabidiol (Hemp) based products such as oils, creams, moisturizers, chews, isolate, gel caps, and concentrate, announced today the appointment of Leonard Marshall to its Sports Advisory Board. NFL Great Leonard Marshall has been an active voice and supporter for the lives of others, particularly children and other football players at all levels.
Canbiola Chief Executive Officer Marco Alfonsi commented, “We are honored and thrilled to have partnered with Leonard Marshall to help increase the awareness of the benefits of CBD and our Canbiola products. Leonard is the first of many influencers we expect to add to our Sports Advisory Board as we roll out our consumer branded CBD Canbiola products, Pure Leaf Oil.”
Leonard Marshall stated, “I am proud to partner with Canbiola and endorse their CBD products and solutions to the market. Their team has developed unique CBD products to address tissue healing and chronic pain that I, as an ex-NFL player use to improve my quality of life. I look forward to increasing the awareness of Canbiola’s products to the mass consumer market.”
Leonard Marshall’s storied NFL career is matched only by his post-football commitment to contribute positively to the lives of others, particularly children and other football players at all levels. In 2017, Leonard Marshall received a nomination to the NFL Hall of Fame. As a founder of multiple nonprofits and a volunteer for dozens more, Marshall has made philanthropy and advocacy his post-NFL career. As a C.T.E. survivor, one of Marshall’s passions is serving as a player advocate to ensure that former and current NFL players have access to hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD), a neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory.
Leonard Allen Marshall Jr. (born October 22, 1961) is a former American football defensive lineman who played twelve seasons in the National Football League (NFL). Selected 37th overall in the 1983 NFL Draft, he spent the first ten seasons of his career with the New York Giants where he accumulated 79.5 sacks, ranking him third in team history. He was twice selected to the Pro Bowl and twice named NFL Defensive Lineman of the Year following the 1985 and 1986 seasons. He won two championships with the Giants, recording three sacks in the two Super Bowl games which he played in. Marshall is most famously known for his 1991 hit on Joe Montana that knocked him out of the NFC championship game, after which Montana would not play another regular season game for almost two years. After his time with the Giants, Marshall went on to play a season each for the New York Jets and Washington Redskins, then retired from football at the age of 33. He played college football at Louisiana State University.
Marshall has been active in several business and entrepreneurial activities since retiring. He also has spent time as a football camp instructor, a football head coach, a student, a professor, and a radio broadcaster. In 2013, Marshall was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease detected in a growing number of retired NFL players. Marshall has been involved with efforts to spread awareness about the issue.
