John Carney is the man! Nicest guy, very knowledgeable, and connected in NFL circles to help the guys he works out with get opportunities. I’ve worked out at this gym several times and the vibes in there are great.
Carney is awesome. He worked with punter Ty Long (2019-2021) who served both as Kicker and Punter at one point.
