The Washington Commanders are getting ready for their mandatory minicamp, which starts on Tuesday. They have recently signed one of their three second-round picks, Mike Sainristil, making the deal official. Sainristil, who is 23 years old, transitioned from wide receiver to cornerback during his college career at Michigan.
Sainristil’s impressive senior year performance earned him first-team All-Big Ten and first-team All-American honors as he played a key role in Michigan’s undefeated national championship season. Nick Saban, the former head coach at Alabama, praised Sainristil as the top player in the 2024 NFL draft based on his performance in the College Football Playoff where Michigan triumphed over Alabama.
The Commanders have already begun signing members of their rookie class, with the goal of finalizing the entire class before the start of training camp in the coming month. This is a piece of news that was first reported on Commanders Wire.
