Former NY Giant Opens 'Clean Juice' In Morristown

MORRISTOWN, NJ - Former NFL wide receiver David Tyree is known for his history-making “Helmet Catch” against for the NY Giants Super Bowl XLII. Now he is part of his wife Leilah's team at their Clean Juice franchise in Morristown.

“Leilah and I are excited to begin this adventure as Clean Juice franchisees and to bring healthy, organic foods to our local community,” David Tyree said in a statement. “We believe that physical and spiritual health are essential to one’s quality of life, so we’re happy to partner with a brand that truly believes the same thing.”

Tyree, a Livingston native, is currently still employed with the Giants as the director of player development where he serves players through leadership training, enrichment programs and resources that foster personal growth and career development.

He and Leilah met during their undergraduate studies at Syracuse University and company officials noted the Tyrees have a strong passion for health and wellness, developed through David’s professional athletic career and Leilah’s dedication as a healthcare professional.

“We are incredibly blessed to have David and his lovely wife Leilah become a part of our Clean Juice family, not just because of his on-field accolades and selfless reputation, but because of their shared commitment to our mission, core values and of course, premium organic products,” said Landon Eckles, co-founder and chief executive officer of Clean Juice. “While we’re proud to open a location in New Jersey, it’s more important that we have added new family members who truly embody our ‘healthy in body and strong in spirit’ mantra.”

The shop is on 68 South Street.
