Ryan's Bio

Ryan Burns is a recent Providence College graduate, who wrote for PC's student newspaper, The Cowl and was a DJ at WDOM 91.3 fm.

Ryan lives in Providence, Rhode Island and enjoys all sports, except for WNBA and Soccer. Sorry. He also likes hip-hop, soul, r&b music, but hates the radio. He thinks Batman is better than Superman, and that Tom Brady is better than Joe Montana.

He loves writing about sports, especially the New England Patriots, and is thankful for Bleacherreport.com for the great service it provides for aspiring writers.

Ryan is your New England Patriots Community Leader along with Mike Dussault and Chris Radez. He can be reached at ryanburns88@gmail.com with any questions.
