Mike Sando is a senior NFL writer at The Athletic and someone who covers America's most popular sport in a unique and thought-provoking way. He joined the company six years ago after 12 years with ESPN and is an officer for the Pro Football Writers of America. Sando spoke to Sports Illustrated about his career path, the way he approaches his coverage, and what to make of quarterback play around the league to this point.
