NFL Editor
Surjo Siddhanta Ray is an NFL Editor at EssentiallySports. He has spent four years in sports journalism, the last stretch of it focused on the NFL, where he built a reputation for reading a single play and knowing exactly how it would shift a franchise's storyline for the rest of the week. Before settling into the NFL beat, he worked across golf and the NBA, which gave him a wider read on how different sports build rivalries and how fans actually experience them.
Surjo holds a Master's degree in English from Delhi University. Moreover, he writes fiction outside of work, which keeps his editing sharp on structure and pacing, not just facts.
