In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders selected Mike Sainristil, a defensive back from the University of Michigan, with the 50th overall pick. Sainristil, who served as Michigan's captain and was ranked as the No. 43 overall prospect by analyst Dane Brugler, has been noted for his versatility and leadership on the field. He previously played as a wide receiver, defensive back, and punt returner, contributing significantly to Michigan's recent successes, including a National Championship win. His performance in 2023 was particularly notable, recording the second-most interceptions among college cornerbacks. The addition of Sainristil is expected to bolster Dan Quinn's defense for the Commanders.
Mike Sainristil was one of my favorite players to cover and watch on tape. GREAT YOUNG MAN OF CHARACTER and a multidimensional athlete who played WR, DB and punt returner. Michigan doesn’t win a National Championship without his ability or leadership. @Commanders are BUILDING. https://t.co/HJn3gDr3UC
