Mahika Saini is an NFL editor at EssentiallySports. She discovered her love for the NFL after witnessing Tom Brady win his seventh ring at the Super Bowl LV. As an athlete at the school level, Mahika formed a connection with the player's resilience, determination and toughness. Being the Captain of her school soccer team, she understands the psyche of an athlete. She admires the football stars' on-field grit, but understands that it is the off-field support systems that help them thrive in the gridiron. It is this off-field coverage that Mahika seeks to build expertise on with her coverage. During her time away from ES' NFL desk, she also likes to devote time to her hobby of sculpting.
