  • Townsend Brothers are punting brothers
    Townsend Brothers, Johnny and Tommy, are punters in the NFL and they are setting challenges for each other on and off the field. It is rare enough to have one family member playing in the NFL. The Townsend family has two members of the NFL and they happen to play the same position. I was fortunate to get some time with both players after a photo shoot with Nirvana Water Sciences to discuss their travel habits and future.
    They both attended and played at the University of Florida, having stellar careers playing for the Gators. I had a great time talking about ups and downs of traveling week after week as well as the uncertainty of playing at the highest level of the game.
    I always appreciate hearing from people who excel at their given career to see how travel can affect their performance as well as what they like and don’t like about different areas of the country. These two brothers have already experienced traveling and working in multiple states and cities.
    Make sure to follow the brothers on their social media pages to see where they will be playing and what they have coming up.
