Michael Abromowitz
President, NFL Draft Director, Senior Writer
michael@thefootballexpert.com

Michael has been following the NFL Draft for more than ten years, and began writing on the NFL Draft with KFFL.com in 2004.  He has been quoted in numerous publications, both internet and print and is a proud member of the Football Writers Association of America.  His mock drafts have been on numerous NFL team sites.  He does interviews for the draft on numerous radio shows and websites. 

Around the internet, Michael is known as the guy for “having a knack for finding the hidden gems.”  In 2007, he made the statement that Kevin Boss, who Michael had interviewed, was the best sleeper in the draft.  Boss ended up starting in the Super Bowl as a rookie for the New York Giants and made a crucial catch to help lead the Giants to victory. 
In 2008, his top sleeper was little known DE William Hayes from Winston-Salem St.  Hayes was drafted in the 4th round by the Titans to the surprise of almost everyone.  TheFootballExpert.com was the only site to have an exclusive interview with him.

In 2009, Michael finished #2 among all NFL Draft experts in predicting the NFL Draft with his mock draft.  He has the 4th best 3-year average, tied with Mel Kiper Jr.  He started thefootballexpert.com because he knew he could do better than the experts on the NFL Draft and needed a portal for his opinions.  He also is a fantasy football guru.  He is involved with an internet wide Dynasty Fantasy Football Expert league that has been featured on USAToday.com and FoxSports.com.  He is a graduate of the University of Virginia with a degree in Economics.  During his time at UVA, he worked with the University of Virginia football program in recruiting.  To this date, Michael's most memorable interview was with then Brown linebacker Zak DeOssie, now a New York Giant, where he was blown away how smart, ambitious, and down to earth DeOssie was.
  He grew up in Dayton, Ohio.
