What to expect from Mike Sainristil in 2024?

The Washington Commanders drafted Sainristil in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and they clearly have big plans for the Michigan Wolverines product. Sainristil was instrumental in the Wolverines' success, capturing three consecutive Big Ten Conference titles and a national championship in his final year as a Wolverine.

The Haitian-born ball hawk was a key part of Jim Harbaugh's defense and a captain in his last two seasons in Michigan. Sainristil led from the secondary and inspired his team to impressive defensive performances in 2022 and 2023.

Sainristil's last collegiate season was a marvel. He stuffed the stat sheet with 44 tackles, one sack, six interceptions, two returned for touchdowns and two forced fumbles. His performances earned him first-team All-American honors from ESPN, FOX and The Sporting News.

Sainristil achieved the crowning moment of a collegiate career in the 2024 national championship game, as he recorded the game-clinching interception. The ball hawk intercepted the University of Washington's Michael Penix Jr. and returned it for 81 yards, guiding his team to glory.
